Raspberry Coconut Chia Breakfast Pudding
Spoon into this chia breakfast pudding with tangy raspberries and toasted coconut. An easy, delicious and nutritious make-ahead breakfast recipe or snack the whole family will enjoy!
Hello friends! I don’t know about you, but one of my challenges lately is coming up with a variety of healthy meals given the limited access to ingredients. We’ve been doing one big grocery shop per week (with long list in hand), but some of our go-to supplies aren’t readily available. So, we’re trying all kinds of new recipes, especially when it comes to breakfast.
Normally, we’re smoothie drinkers. But, the flavours we tend to make take all sorts of fresh produce that we simply don’t have the refrigerator room for. And, with more people eating at home now, it’s necessary to make our groceries go further than normal. Can you relate?
One of the make-ahead treats we’ve come to enjoy over the past few weeks is chia breakfast pudding. Usually I whip up a batch the night before and we enjoy it in the morning or as a snack later in the day. After playing around with several flavour combinations, one of our favourites is raspberry coconut chia pudding.
Such a yummy gluten-free breakfast, snack or dessert! And with the arrival of spring, we should start to see more seasonal organic fruit (hopefully). I can’t wait until I’m able to pick fresh raspberries. You? Keep reading to discover more spring recipe ideas by my friend Krista and the rest of the Seasonal Simplicity gang…
How to Make Raspberry Coconut Chia Breakfast Pudding
Supplies and Ingredients
- 5 small jars or bowls (I used 120 gram Petit Pot yogurt jars)
- unsweetened coconut milk beverage (I used Silk brand)
- pure maple syrup
- pure vanilla extract
- chia seeds (black or white)
- raspberry jam
- fresh raspberries
- toasted shredded coconut
See recipe card at bottom of post for full measurements and details.
Chia Pudding Directions
- In a small bowl, add 6 tablespoons of chia seeds to 1½ cups milk. Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Whisk and set aside for 15 minutes. Stir one more time.
- Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons of raspberry jam to a jar or small bowl and mix in ½ cup of raspberries. Combine with a spoon, mashing raspberries until small chunks remain.
- In each small jar, create alternating layers of chia pudding and raspberry mixture.
- Top each jar with toasted coconut and fresh raspberries. Enjoy!
Chia Pudding Ingredient Options
Of course, you can play around with different flavour combinations. For instance, almond milk can be used in place of coconut. You can also change up the fruit and jam to blueberry, blackberry, strawberry and more. Sugar-free is an option too if you’re following the Keto diet. Also, consider using nuts or other seeds. Use what you have on hand.
Chia Pudding Recipe Tips
- This pudding can be prepared the night before or 20-30 minutes before consuming. Chia thickens as it sits, so you may need to adjust the milk to chia ratio to your preference.
- To toast coconut, place in preheated 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring a few times. Allow to cool.
- Top the chia pudding with fresh fruit and coconut right before serving for best results.
- Store in the refrigerator covered for up to 2 days (without toppings).
