Gingerbread Chia Seed Pudding

The holidays are upon us which means life is busy – in all the best of ways! Whether you’re hosting guests in from out of town or simply need a healthy make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings, this Gingerbread Chia Seed Pudding is for you.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

If you’ve never tried chia pudding before, it reminds me a bit of tapioca pudding with more crunch. As the nutrient-dense chia seeds soak overnight in coconut milk, they expand and the pudding thickens.

Scented with warm spices like cinnamon, cloves and ginger, then sweetened with molasses and maple syrup, each bite is reminiscent of a delicious gingerbread cookie – minus the butter and sugar.

In the morning, I like to top mine with fresh fruit and crunchy pecans for added texture. Of course, feel free to get creative here. Walnuts, shredded coconut, almonds or flax seed would all be great toppings as well.

Pro Tip: Get ahead and whip up a double batch when you have a little extra time. You’ll be so happy to have this hearty and nutritious vegan breakfast recipe waiting for you when you’re ready, all week long.

Your spoon is waiting.

  1. […] Gingerbread Chia Seed Pudding. When it closes in on Thanksgiving and Christmas, no doubt you will smell the gingerbread aroma wherever you go. Instead of fighting against your urge to buy one of the high carb treats, simply make a low-carb pudding cup for yourself. Just pre-make some of these pudding in canning jars and you can have them whenever you want. The best part is you can either have it chilled or you can pop it in the microwave for a warm treat. […]
