Pumpkin Spice Chia Breakfast Pudding

It’s pumpkin season! Let’s put it into a breakfast chia seed pudding! 

Ingredients

• ½ cup chia seeds
• 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk ( or whatever milk you want)
• ½ cup pumpkin purée
• 2 tbs. maple syrup
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
• ½ tsp. cinnamon
• Pinch of flaky sea salt

Optional Toppings

• Yogurt ( I like plain Greek for an added tang)
• Chopped walnuts or pecans
• Pumpkin seeds
• Cinnamon
• Drizzle of maple syrup or honey

Directions

1. Put the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, cinnamon and salt into a bowl and mix to combine well. 
2. Add chia seeds.
3. Mix it together really well ( chia seeds can clump together and ruin everyone’s morning)
4. Refrigerate overnight.
5. Stir again before serving.
6. Add the toppings of choice and enjoy! 

Tips: If you want the chia seed pudding to be extra creamy, blend the pumpkin, milk, maple syrup, vanilla and spices with a hand mixer first.
