Main Ingredients
- 3 figs
- 1 cup oat milk
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp black sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp pistachios, chopped
Optional Toppings
- Maple syrup
- Coconut crème
- Dairy-free yogurt
Instructions
- Mix chia seeds and oat milk: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of oat milk, ensuring the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Add cinnamon: Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and stir well to incorporate the spice throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate to thicken: Place the bowl in the fridge and allow the mixture to soak for 2 to 12 hours, preferably overnight, so the chia seeds absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Prepare figs: Cut 3 fresh figs in halves and arrange them either on the bottom or pressed against the sides of your serving jar or bowl for a decorative and flavorful base.
- Assemble the pudding: Pour the thickened chia seed mixture into the jar or bowl over the figs. Add optional toppings such as a drizzle of maple syrup, a spoonful of coconut crème or dairy-free yogurt, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios and ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds for added texture and taste.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the pudding immediately after assembly or store it chilled until ready to eat for a refreshing, nutrient-packed treat.
Notes
- For best texture, soak the chia seed mixture overnight.
- Use ripe figs for optimal sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or your preferred natural sweetener.
- Oat milk can be substituted with any plant-based milk of choice.
- Store leftover pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
