Description
A creamy, spiced pudding made with Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and apple, perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 small apple, peeled and grated (about 1/2 cup)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, toasted oats, a drizzle of nut butter, or a warm streusel
Instructions
- Combine the base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in chia and apple: Add the chia seeds and the grated apple to the yogurt mixture. Stir thoroughly so chia seeds are evenly distributed and won’t clump.
- Rest and thicken: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight; the chia seeds will swell and create a pudding-like texture.
- Finish and serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Divide into jars or bowls and top with your choice of nuts, toasted oats, or a crumble for crunch.
Notes
For a thicker pudding, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds; for thinner, add more milk a tablespoon at a time.
