Stir this together at night and breakfast is waiting for you in the morning. Chia seeds soak up full-fat coconut milk and set into a soft pudding, so there is nothing to cook.

It is dairy-free and nut-free, which makes it an easy option when eggs and cheese are off the table. A little vanilla and cinnamon do most of the flavor work.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp erythritol or sweetener to taste
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl or jar.

  2. 2

    Add the chia seeds and whisk again so they do not clump.

  3. 3

    Wait 5 minutes, then whisk once more to break up any pockets that have started to gel.

  4. 4

    Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thick.

  5. 5

    Stir before serving and loosen with a splash more coconut milk if it set too firm.

Tips

  • Divide into two jars before chilling so you can grab one and go.
