Peanut Butter Chocolate Chia Pudding Ingredients

  • Peanut butter: It goes without saying that peanut butter and chocolate make an incredible pair in many sweet treats. This chia seed pudding is no different!
  • Oat milk: we prefer unsweetened, plain oat milk for this delicious recipe, but you can use any kind of milk or liquid you want. Coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, cow’s milk, etc., work just as great.
  • Maple syrup: maple syrup compliments the cocoa powder in so many ways. I love how warm and nutty maple syrup is! Feel free to use honey or agave, or any other liquid sweetener.
  • Cocoa powder: This recipe calls for unsweetened cocoa powder. You can also use dark cocoa powder or cacao powder, but you may need to use more maple syrup to offset the bitterness.
  • Chia seeds: any kind of chia seeds work. The most common chia seeds you can find are black and white chia seeds. We’ve used both! Our #1 tip is to make sure your chia seeds are as fresh as possible and not expired, or they will not expand.
  • Salt: a pinch of salt makes all the sweet ingredients of this chia pudding even sweeter.

#1 chia seed pudding tip!

Our #1 tip is to make sure your chia seeds are as fresh as possible and NOT expired. If you use old/expired chia seeds, they will not expand properly. We’re speaking from experience over here!

FAQs

Are peanut butter and chia seeds good for you?

Peanuts and chia seeds are both rich in nutrients. Chia seeds are high in protein and fiber and are a good source of calcium, vitamins, and minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc while peanuts are high in protein and potassium and are a good source of iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B6.

What does chia seed pudding taste like?

Chia seed pudding is creamy and has a slightly seedy, gelatinous texture. As a result, it’s the perfect neutral base for adding various sweet flavors. In other words, the taste of your pudding will ultimately depend on what ingredients you add to it.

Why didn’t my chia seeds turn into pudding?

Chia pudding that doesn’t thicken is due to either stale chia seeds or poor mixing. Next time you make chia seed pudding, check the date on your chia seeds and thoroughly stir your ingredients together.

Storage

Store your chia seed pudding in an airtight container (like a mason jar) in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Chia seed pudding is a great dessert or snack to double or triple because it lasts for so long in the fridge.

The pudding would have been great but it was salty. I think next time we will cut the salt. It was almost inedible

I love love the flavour of this Chia seed pudding!! My only issue is that after letting it sit overnight and blending it the Chia seeds did not blend and were still hard. So when eating it is crunchy. What did I do wrong?
