A delightful Sticky Bun Chia Seed Pudding that combines creamy cashew milk and nutrient-rich chia seeds with a sweet and sticky pecan topping, perfect for a healthy and indulgent breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Seed Pudding

  • 2 cups Unsweetened Cashew Milk
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sticky Pecans

  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chia Seed Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cashew milk, chia seeds, agave nectar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
  3. Make Sticky Pecans: In a small saucepan, combine the real maple syrup, agave nectar, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add Pecans: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are well coated with the sticky syrup.
  5. Let Pecans Sit: Allow the sticky pecans to sit for 5 minutes so the syrup thickens slightly and coats the nuts perfectly.
  6. Serve: Spoon the sticky pecans generously over the chilled chia seed pudding and enjoy this sweet, crunchy, and creamy treat.

Notes

  • This pudding can be prepared the night before for a quick and easy breakfast.
  • Use any nut milk as a substitute for cashew milk if preferred.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of agave nectar and brown sugar to your taste.
  • For added texture, top with fresh fruit or shredded coconut.
  • Store leftover pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
