This Mocha Chia Pudding is a delicious and nutritious no-cook breakfast or snack option, combining the rich flavors of coffee and cocoa with the health benefits of chia seeds.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled

Chia Pudding Mix

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Garnish

  • Greek yogurt, for garnish
  • Coffee beans, for garnish
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix the liquids and cocoa: In a mason jar, whisk together the milk, brewed coffee, and cocoa powder until uniformly combined and smooth. This creates the mocha flavor base for the pudding.
  2. Add chia seeds and sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup thoroughly, ensuring the seeds are evenly distributed to prevent clumping.
  3. Refrigerate to set: Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding consistency.
  4. Garnish and serve: Before serving, top your mocha chia pudding with Greek yogurt, a few whole coffee beans, and chocolate shavings for added texture and visual appeal. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk and ensure maple syrup is preferred over honey.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preference.
  • Brewed coffee should be cooled completely to avoid cooking the chia seeds prematurely.
  • Can be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Optional toppings can include nuts, fresh fruit, or coconut flakes to vary texture and flavor.
