Golden Milk Chia Pudding
Golden milk chia pudding is a warm chia pudding that can be ready in five minutes and is full of warming spices.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Add the milk, maple syrup, turmeric, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and black pepper to a small pot. Whisk together. Heat over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in chia seeds. Continue heating, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes, or until chia seeds have thickened the milk and formed a chia pudding consistency.
- Pour into a bowl and top as desired.
Notes
- You can use your preferred type of milk. If you use vanilla almond milk you can omit adding vanilla extract. If you use sweetened milk, you may want to omit adding maple syrup or honey.
- All stoves cook differently. Make sure your mixture is getting warm, but not boiling. You don't want to scald the milk, just warm it and allow the chia seeds to bloom and thicken into pudding.
- Actual cooking time will depend on your stove and how thick you want your chia pudding. Cook for a little shorter for a more liquidy chia pudding and longer for a thicker chia pudding (careful not to burn).
- You can adjust the sweetness as you like. I like to start with 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, but if I want it a bit sweeter I will add 2 teaspoons.
- Topping ideas: sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped nuts, granola
