This chocolate peanut butter chia seed pudding is a naturally vegan, high-protein breakfast or dessert recipe – ideal for prepping ahead!
Just when you thought I couldn’t come up with any other chocolate peanut butter combos, I decided to give one of my most popular vegan recipes, chia seed pudding, a major flavor boost!
This easy make-ahead breakfast recipe requires just a few simple pantry ingredients including chia seeds, cocoa powder and canned Thai-style coconut milk.
Of course, what takes it to the next level is that the pudding is sweetened with creamy natural peanut butter that I melt slightly in the microwave.
Best when prepared the night before, the pudding thickens in just about an hour or two. When you wake up in the morning, the end result is a thick, smooth, slightly crunchy breakfast pudding.
Before serving, I like to garnish with a little extra melted peanut butter but fresh berries, banana slices or crunchy walnuts would be great too.
