    Why this recipe works

    This chia pudding with oat milk is an excellent breakfast option for a few reasons.

    First, it's quick and easy to make. Just whisk together the ingredients, refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, and enjoy!

    Second, oat milk chia pudding is customizable. You can add your favorite toppings, fruits, and spices to give it a unique flavor.

    Third, it's packed with nutrients like fiber, protein, and healthy fats. That's what I call a balanced breakfast!

    Lastly, you can eat chia pudding as a snack or a healthy dessert.

    This basic Chia pudding can be made as your dessert (Chocolate Chia Pudding) by adding dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder.

    You could replace oat milk with your favorite non-dairy milk like unsweetened almond, cashew, soy, or even dairy.

    Ingredients note

    Chia pudding ingredients are on the surface.

    Chia seeds: I like to use black chia seeds for this easy chia pudding recipe, but white chia seeds will also work. The ratio of chia seeds to milk you use is more important than the type.

    Oat milk: I use plain oat milk because it's my favorite plant-based milk, but you can use any type of milk you like.

    I find that oat milk comes closest to dairy milk than any other non-dairy milk in its texture.

    Sweetener: You can use your sweetener of choice in this recipe. I usually use maple syrup, agave, or organic sugar.

    They are all good because they add a unique dimension to this chia seed pudding recipe.

    Vanilla extract: This is my favorite extract to use in chia pudding, but you can also use almond extract or any other type of flavoring.

    See the recipe card for a list of ingredients and quantities plus recipe instructions. You can find the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Chia pudding topping options

    There are so many delicious toppings to choose from when it comes to toppings. Here are a few of my favorites:

    • Fresh fruits: berries, bananas, mango, etc.
    • Dried fruits: raisins, cranberries, apricots, etc.
    • Nuts and Seeds: hemp seeds, flax seeds, almonds, walnuts, and cashew nuts.
    • Coconut: shredded coconut and toasted coconut flakes.
    • Chocolate: dark chocolate chips and cocoa powder.

    Instructions

    This vegan chia pudding is easy to make and only takes a few minutes of prep time.

    A bowl is with oat milk and chia seeds.

    Simply whisk together the oat milk, five tablespoons of chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract.

    Recipe FAQ's

    What type of milk can I use in this recipe?

    You can use any type of milk you like for this chia pudding. I usually use oat milk. But almond, cashew, soy, or coconut milk are great alternatives.

    Do I need to sweeten oat milk chia pudding?

    No, you don't need to sweeten oat milk pudding. However, I think it tastes best with a little bit of sweetener. You can use any sweetener you like. Some of the options are maple syrup, agave, or organic sugar.

    What are chia seeds?

    Chia seeds are small, black seeds that come from the plant Salvia hispanica. They are a source of fiber, protein, and omega-three fatty acids.

    How long does chia pudding with oat milk last?

    Chia seed pudding will be fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend storing it in an airtight container or a mason jar.

    Expert tips

    • Soak the chia seeds in oat milk for at least four hours or overnight. This will help them absorb the liquid and become gel-like.
    • You could use this recipe as a make-ahead breakfast recipe on busy weekdays.
    • Add your favorite fruits, nuts, and seeds to pudding for a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
    • Try using different types of milk to change the flavor of oat milk chia seed pudding.
    • If you dislike the texture of whole chia seeds, try blending the pudding.
