Notes
Nutrition information is based on 2% milk. Any type of milk can be substituted, including non-dairy.
Instead of maple syrup, try honey, brown sugar, agave, or any sweetener you prefer. Add more or less, to taste. This pudding isn’t very sweet but it's easy to customize if you prefer more sweetness.
If desired, divide the pudding into two (or more) bowls or jars before refrigerating so it’s ready to eat in the morning!
Try topping the chia pudding with fruit or spoon the pudding over berries or bananas for a healthy snack.
