Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
Chia seed is a tiny miracle: it can bind multiple times its own weight in liquid, creating a pudding texture without cooking (hydrophilic property). Combined with pumpkin and spices, this breakfast is like eating a slice of pumpkin pie, but full of fibre and Omega-3 fatty acids. A game of patience: time works for us as the seeds slowly swell in the fridge.

⚠️ Nuts (Walnuts/Pecans)

Instructions

1 ✓

In a bowl (or directly in storage jars) mix the chia seeds with the plant-based milk.

Tip: Use a whisk or if using a jar shake thoroughly so seeds don't clump together.
2 ✓

Wait 5 minutes, then mix again.

Tip: This step is critical! Seeds start sinking before gelling begins. The second mix keeps them suspended so pudding is even.
3 ✓

Stir in pumpkin purée, sweetener, and spices (vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg) until smooth.

Tip: The spices evoke the 'pumpkin pie' flavour profile.
4 ✓

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.

Tip: During long rest seeds fully hydrate and pudding thickens.
5 ✓

Stir before serving and sprinkle with roughly chopped walnuts.

Tip: Crunchy walnut texture complements the jelly-like pudding perfectly.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the pudding stay runny?
Either the slice was too thick, or there were too many in the tray and they steamed each other. Wait, actually: Either not enough time passed (needs at least 3-4 hours), or the chia seeds are old. Add a bit more seeds and wait patiently.
Can I use raw pumpkin?
No, definitely use roasted or steamed purée for creamy texture and sweet taste.
