Ingredients

Chia Seeds are the star ingredient of this recipe. If you do not like their texture, blend the pudding in a blender before chilling.
Pumpkin Puree – Make it at home using my homemade pumpkin puree recipe or buy a can.
You can replace pumpkin puree with butternut squash or sweet potato puree too.
Pumpkin Pie Spice – Make it at home using my pumpkin pie spice recipe or buy a bottle.
Milk – I like to use whole milk to make this pudding as it makes it super creamy. However, you can use skim, low-fat or plant-based milk too.
Maple Syrup – Sweeten the pudding with maple syrup. You can also use honey or agave nectar.
Vanilla Extract – Adds a subtle sweetness with a hint of beautiful aroma.
