- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

- 5-10 minutes after the initial mixing, stir the mixture again to break up clumps of chia seeds.
- Allow pudding to soak for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Give pudding a quick stir, and top it with topping of choice like berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of yogurt. Your oat and chia pudding is ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
*Oats - Both rolled and quick oats will work in this recipe. The former will yield chewier oats, while the latter will result in a smoother and creamier texture.
Helpful tips
- Use fresh chia seeds - Chia seeds that have gone stale or expired will not gel and thicken properly. This will yield runny pudding.
- Smooth chia pudding - If you prefer your pudding to be smooth and creamy, add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth. The mixture will thicken instantly. You can enjoy it straight away or refrigerate it until ready to serve.
- Batch make oatmeal chia pudding - This recipe can be refrigerated for up to 5 days, making it great for meal prep!
