Sticky Bun Chia Seed Pudding is a cozy, spiced, and naturally sweetened chia pudding that channels all the flavor of a sticky bun—cinnamon, maple, vanilla, and crunchy nuts—into a healthy, no-cook breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 12 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 12 tbsp raisins or chopped dates (optional)
  • Optional toppings: coconut sugar, almond butter drizzle

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add chia seeds and whisk well to prevent clumps.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until thickened.
  4. Stir the pudding, then mix in chopped nuts and raisins or dates if using.
  5. Top with coconut sugar or a drizzle of almond butter before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Use oat, coconut, or dairy milk for a different flavor profile.
  • Add Greek yogurt or coconut cream for extra creaminess.
  • Mix in protein powder for a protein-rich option.
  • Swap maple syrup with date syrup or honey.
  • Layer with granola or bananas for a parfait-style meal.
