These 10-minute Chia and Oat Puddings are the ideal breakfast food to keep you nourished and satisfied until lunchtime. They are easily customisable, too!
1tbspblueberries or fruit of your choice, such as raspberries, strawberries or diced mango
1tbspwalnuts or any nuts of your choice, such as almonds, pecans or cashews
1tspcoconut flakes or you can try dried fruit, cacao nibs or granola
Amounts are per 1 serve. You will need a jar or cup 300 ml (10 fl oz) in volume.
Instructions
Combine the oats and chia seeds – Place the quick oats and chia seeds in your jar or cup. Top with milk and allow to stand for 10 minutes until the mixture has thickened.
Add the yoghurt – Top with the Greek yoghurt.
Sweeten – Add the maple syrup.
Add the toppings and serve – Top with blueberries, walnuts and coconut flakes.
Notes
Note 1 – You can use regular oats, but they will take a little longer to soften, and the result will be a little chewier (but equally delicious!). Just increase the initial soaking time to 30 minutes.
Make ahead
Make Chia and Oat Puddings ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I use containers with lids, but you can cover with plastic wrap or beeswax wrappers. The toppings are best added right before serving.
Leftovers
Refrigerate any leftover pudding for up to 3 days. I use containers with lids, but you can cover with plastic wrap or beeswax wrappers.
