Cinnamon Apple Chia Pudding

If you are in search of an egg-less breakfast alternative, look no further than chia pudding. It is ridiculously easy to make, but it does require a little preplanning. Just combine chia seeds with your favorite milk (I prefer coconut) and let it sit in the fridge for several hours, ideally overnight. The trickiest part is getting the consistency to your liking. I’ve found it’s better to under compensate on the amount of chia seeds you use and adjust later, otherwise you might end up with a jar of cement.

You can use this recipe as a base to enhance with whatever kind of fruit is in season. Currently I’m loving the combination of cinnamon apples, raisins, and coconut for a delightful breakfast treat on these crisp fall mornings.

Cut the vanilla bean down the middle and scrape out all that rich, dark goodness.

Add the vanilla to a jar along with coconut milk, chia seeds and a pinch of sea salt. Cover, shake well and put it in the fridge overnight.

The following day, heat up some ghee and sauté apple slices dusted with cinnamon and sea salt until caramelized and tender.

Empty your jar into a bowl. The pudding should have a yogurt-like consistency. If it is too thick, just add a little more coconut milk. Too soupy? Just add some more chia seeds.

Top with the apple slices, raisins, and shredded coconut. Enjoy!
