Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened plant milk almond, oat, or coconut
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and blended or mashed
For Toppings:
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional, for toasting
- 2-3 tablespoon almond butter

Instructions
Make the chia pudding base:
- In a bowl or jar, whisk together plant milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and strawberry purée. Stir well, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, stirring once after the first 15–20 minutes to prevent clumping.
Toast the oats:
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast oats for 3–5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Stir often to avoid burning. For a touch of sweetness, drizzle with maple syrup and stir to coat during the last minute.
Assemble:
- Divide chia pudding into bowls or jars. Top with toasted oats, a spoonful of almond butter, and fresh strawberries if using. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
