Peanut Butter Cup Chia Pudding
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Chia Pudding
- 1 cup milk alternative (unsweetened, (we use almond or oat milk…coconut would be really good too!))
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter powder
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- tiny sprinkle of kosher salt
- 1/4 cup whole chia seeds
Chocolate Chia Pudding
- 1 cup milk alternative
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- tiny sprinkle of kosher salt
- 1/4 cup whole chia seeds
Instructions
- In separate bowls (one bowl for the peanut butter chia pudding and one for the chocolate chia pudding), whisk all ingredients together except the chia seeds.
- While whisking, slowly add the chia seeds into each bowl until combined. You'll want to make sure all of the chia seeds are wet. I've noticed that if I use a plastic bowl, the chia seeds will static to the sides…not good! So I recommend using a metal or glass bowl if you have one. If not, no worries but you'll just need to make sure they're all making it into the liquid.
- Cover the each bowl and put it in the refrigerator to set for 25 minutes.
- Whisk the chia puddings one last time to get rid of any clumps that may have formed.
- Once all of the lumps are broken up, divide the peanut butter chia pudding, evenly into jars. About 1/4 cup (or less per jar). Layer the chocolate chia pudding on top.
- Return to the refrigerator overnight. The following morning, top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Chopped or whole peanuts
- Bananas
- Bit of chocolate shavings or chips
- Dollop of peanut butter for extra peanut flavor
