Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 2 cups almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Your choice of fresh fruit (berries, mango, kiwi, etc.)
• Granola for topping

Instructions:

1. In the Instant Pot, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
2. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to ‘Pressure Cook’ or ‘Manual’ on high for 1 minute.
3. Once the timer beeps, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
4. Open the lid and stir the mixture again. The chia seeds should have absorbed the liquid, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency.
5. Transfer the pudding into serving jars or bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set further.
6. Once chilled, layer the chia seed pudding with your choice of fresh fruit and top with a sprinkle of granola.

Helpful Tips:

• For a thicker pudding, add more chia seeds. For a thinner consistency, add more almond milk.
• Experiment with different flavors by using flavored almond milk or adding a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
• If you prefer it sweeter, adjust the maple syrup to taste.

Storage Instructions:

• Store the pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• You can also prepare the pudding in advance and keep it ready for a quick breakfast or snack.

Pairings:

• This pudding pairs beautifully with a cup of hot herbal tea or fresh orange juice.
• For a fuller breakfast, serve alongside wholegrain toast topped with avocado slices.
