A refreshing and energizing twist on traditional chia seed pudding, this Classic Coffee Chia Seed Pudding combines the rich flavors of brewed coffee with creamy chia seeds for a nutritious and delicious breakfast or snack option. Naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup and enhanced with vanilla extract, this pudding is easy to make and perfect for coffee lovers seeking a healthy, make-ahead treat.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, brewed coffee, milk, and honey or maple syrup if using. Add the vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed and the chia seeds begin to absorb the liquid.
  2. Refrigerate to Thicken: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 5 days. Stir occasionally during this period to prevent clumping and encourage an even pudding-like consistency.
  3. Serve: When ready to enjoy, give the pudding a final stir. Divide the pudding into bowls or glasses and garnish as desired with toppings such as chopped nuts, fresh berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use a dark roast or espresso brew.
  • Use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk to make this recipe vegan and lactose-free.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup or omitting it entirely for less sugar.
  • Make ahead and store in the refrigerator for quick breakfasts or snacks up to 5 days.
  • Stir the pudding before serving to restore its creamy texture if it has been stored for a while.
  • Experiment with toppings such as granola, shredded coconut, or cinnamon for variation.
