Apple Chia Pudding energizes mornings with simple prep wholesome texture and a fast breakfast boost using chia seeds High fiber naturally sweet

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 apples, diced small

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/3 cup rolled oats

2 tablespoons almond flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar

1–2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil

1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla, and cinnamon. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the mixture is glossy, thick, and pudding-like. Do the spoon test: it should coat the back of a spoon when ready.

While the pudding thickens, prepare the apples: in a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced apples, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Cook 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized around the edges. A few soft, saucy pieces are perfect for texture.

Make the crumble topping: in a small bowl, combine oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix until coarse crumbs form. If you like extra crunch, toast the oats for 1-2 minutes in a dry skillet before mixing.

Assemble: Spoon a generous layer of chia pudding into serving jars, add a layer of warm apple mixture, and sprinkle crumble on top. Repeat layers if your jar is large enough. Serve immediately for max crunch, or chill for a bit to let flavors mingle.

Finish with toppings of choice: a dollop of yogurt, a handful of chopped nuts, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if you're feeling indulgent. The contrast of cool pudding, hot apples, and crisp crumble is what makes this shine.

Notes

A cozy, no-fuss breakfast in a jar featuring vanilla-tinged chia pudding, warm apples, and a crunchy crumble topping—perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or a Pinterest-worthy brunch.
