Meet the healthy breakfast I've been eating on repeat. This Pumpkin Chia Pudding recipe has a not-so-sneaky veggie added in and takes just 5 minutes to stir together. It's a fast and easy meal prep breakfast idea that's loaded with fiber. (And even better, it tastes like pumpkin pie!)
To make two servings, start with two 14-ounce jars with lids. Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, ¼ cup pumpkin puree, a tablespoon of maple syrup, ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, a pinch of salt, and a half cup of milk to each jar.
Use a whisk to mix everything together in each jar, then wait 5 minutes. The chia seeds will start to plump slightly during this time. Then whisk again, to make sure you've broken up any large clumps.
Secure the lid on the jars and transfer them to the fridge. Let them chill for at least 30 minutes before enjoying them, but they will continue to thicken and plump if you let it chill overnight.
When you're ready to eat, remove a jar from the fridge and stir well. It's ready to eat chilled right away, with any toppings you like, such as pecans and dried cranberries. For a thinner consistency, you can add an extra splash of milk when serving. Leftovers will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
