FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of almond milk?
Yes, you can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, including dairy milk, soy, or oat milk. The texture and flavor may vary slightly.
How do I know when the chia pudding is ready?
The pudding is ready once it thickens to a creamy, gel-like consistency, usually after 4 hours or overnight in the fridge. If it’s too runny, let it chill longer or add a bit more chia seeds.

Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 1 1/2 Cup (375 ml) almond milk
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 1–2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add the almond milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste or extract into a bowl. Stir well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Wait and Stir: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping of chia seeds and help them start to absorb the liquid.
- Chill the Pudding: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken to a pudding consistency. Taste and adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if desired before chilling.
- Serve: Spoon the thickened chia pudding into serving containers. Top with a generous dollop of vanilla yoghurt and a light dusting of cinnamon for that signature cinnamon roll flavor. Enjoy chilled.
