A simple, healthy, and delicious overnight chia pudding topped with a fresh berry compote, perfect for an easy breakfast or light brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk like oat or coconut)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey/agave)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 grams) mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Optional toppings: sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or a dollop of Greek yogurt
  • For the berry compote:
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. In a jar or bowl, combine 3 tablespoons chia seeds with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well to prevent clumps.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Stir once after 30 minutes to break up any clumps.
  3. Prepare the berry compote by adding 1 cup mixed berries, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick and jammy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Once the chia pudding has thickened, stir gently. Spoon the berry compote on top or swirl it in. Add optional toppings like sliced almonds or shredded coconut if desired.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature. If pudding is too thick, stir in a splash of almond milk; if too thin, add more chia seeds next time.

Notes

Stir the chia seeds thoroughly into the liquid before refrigeration to avoid clumps. Stir again after 30 minutes. Cook berry compote low and slow to avoid burning. The compote can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Use unsweetened almond milk to control sweetness. Blend pudding for a smoother texture if desired.
