Black Sesame Chia Pudding
2 people
An easy make-ahead breakfast with a rich, nutty black sesame flavor that comes together with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, toasted and ground
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 –2 tablespoons maple syrup, depending on desired sweetness
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup plant-based milk, soy, oak, or almond milk
- fresh fruit, strawberries, blueberries, rasberries, etc
- granola, for topping
Instructions
- Add the black sesame seeds to a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2–3 minutes and stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from the heat and allow them to cool.
- Transfer the cooled sesame seeds to a spice grinder or small blender and grind into a fine powder.
- In a jar or container, combine the ground black sesame seeds, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and plant-based milk. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight, until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the pudding has thickened.
- Stir the pudding again before serving. If needed, add a splash of milk to loosen the consistency.
- Spoon into a bowl and top with fresh fruit and granola. Or enjoy straight from the jar.
Notes
Black sesame: Let the toasted sesame seeds cool before grinding. They don’t need to be completely smooth; a little texture is fine.
Sweetness: Start with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and add more depending on how sweet you like it.
Consistency: If the pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Chilling: For the best texture, refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
