Description
A fresh, make-ahead breakfast or light dessert featuring creamy blueberry chia seed pudding.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy, almond, or oat)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Simmer blueberries with maple syrup and lemon juice over medium heat for 5-8 minutes until slightly thickened.
- In a bowl, combine chia seeds, milk, vanilla, and the cooled blueberry mixture; whisk well.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- For a smoother pudding, blend the mixture after chilling; for a rustic texture, keep chia seeds whole.
