I love opening the fridge and seeing these little jars of goodness ready to go! They are quick and easy to make and made with simple supermarket ingredients. They double as a light breakfast or substantial snack. One of these mid-morning will keep me full until lunchtime. The chia seeds make these puddings special, puffing up into soft pearls and creating a beautiful texture. They are packed with antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids and are a great source of fibre. You have many options for customisation here; top your Chia and Oat Puddings with your choice of fruit and nuts, or you could even add granola or cacao nibs.
Can you make Chia and Oat Puddings ahead of time?
Yes, you can make Chia and Oat Puddings ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Toppings are best added right before serving.
