Ingredient Notes
With just a few simple ingredients like pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, plant-based milk, and chia seeds, this chia pudding is creamy, cozy, and packed with fall flavor.
Chia Seeds: The base of our chia pudding is of course, chia seeds! When soaked, they become gel-like in consistency.
Pumpkin Purée: Can't have a pumpkin pie flavor without pumpkin purée! Make sure you get pure pumpkin purée and not pumpkin pie filling.
Vegan Yogurt: Makes it creamy with a little tang. I recommend unsweetened.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend: You can use a pre-made pumpkin pie spice blend, or make your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.

Step 1: Add all the ingredients into a jar or container.

Substitutions & Variations
Feel free to swap ingredients and make it your own based on what you already have in the kitchen.
Milk: Any plant-based milk works. Soy, oat, almond, coconut or even cashew! Use your favorite.
Yogurt: Coconut, almond, or soy yogurt will work. I prefer using an unsweetened yogurt. You can skip it, but you will need a little extra milk to keep the pudding creamy. I would add an additional ¼ cup.
Sweetener: Maple syrup can be replaced with agave syrup.
Toppings: Pecans, walnuts, or almonds, coconut whipped cream, dollop of vegan yogurt, vegan hemp seed granola, or a drizzle of nut butter are all delicious topping options.

Tips & Tricks
After mixing, wait 5 minutes, and then stir again! This helps prevent the chia seeds from sinking to the bottom and breaks up any spice clumps, making sure everything is evenly mixed and creamy.
If it's too thick, stir in a little extra plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Storage
Chia pudding is ideal for meal prep because it keeps well in the fridge. Store in an airtight container or glass jar for up to 5 days.
This recipe makes two large servings or four smaller snack-sized portions.
Frequently Asked Questions
If the chia pudding is runny, let it set longer in the fridge. If you didn't use enough chia, you might also need to stir in additional seeds.
Using pumpkin pie purée will make the pudding sweeter and spicier since it's already sweetened and seasoned, while plain pumpkin purée lets you control sweetness and spice.
