Honey Pecan Chia Pudding

This creamy, easy chia pudding is packed with all the flavors of a Snowball cookie, along with protein, fiber, and just the right level of sweetness to start your day. The texture is perfect, and I love it for either breakfast or a wholesome dessert.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup vanilla bean yogurt or skyr, greek yogurt will also work
  • 1 cup plant-based milk of choice
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt, just a pinch
  • 1/3 cup pecan halves, chopped, plus more for topping
  • 1 tablespoon honey, plus more for topping

Instructions 

  1. In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 3/4 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of milk, 1/8 teaspoon each of vanilla extract, almond extract and cinnamon. Add a pinch of salt then place in the fridge to set while you toast the pecans.
  2. Place a pan over medium heat, toast 1/3 cup of pecan halves until you can smell the nuttiness, about 3-4 minutes. Take them off the heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix together to make a sticky nutty "crust."
  3. Divide the chia pudding evenly between two ramekins or jars. Sprinkle the honey pecan mixture evenly over the top of each. Leave in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes, then drizzle with more honey and more chopped pecans and enjoy!
