Ingredients
  

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 cups almond milk (or your preferred milk)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Toppings: Fresh fruits (such as berries or sliced bananas), nuts (like almonds or walnuts), your choice of nut butter, shredded coconut, or granola for added crunch

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredient mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined, ensuring there are no dry clumps.

        Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.

          Stir & Adjust Consistency: Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and give it a hearty stir. If the pudding is thicker than you prefer, add a bit more almond milk to achieve your desired creaminess.

            Add Toppings: Serve the pudding in individual bowls or jars. Top with your selection of fresh fruits, nuts, a spoonful of nut butter, shredded coconut, or granola, elevating both flavor and texture.

              Enjoy: Dive in and relish your satisfying and nutritious breakfast pudding!
