Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt
- 1 cup frozen blueberries, thawed
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or blueberry jam
- 3 tbsp gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 tbsp toasted pecans
- Zest of 1/2 a lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla paste (optional)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 3 tbsp gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 tbsp vegan butter (optional)
- 3 tbsp toasted pecans
- 2 medjool dates
- Zest of 1/2 a lemon
Instructions
- If toasting pecans, heat a small skillet over medium heat and stir frequently until they become fragrant and darker in color for about 4-5 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the yogurt, blueberries, maple syrup, rolled oats, pecans, lemon zest, vanilla, salt, and plant-based milk. Blend until smooth, adjusting for salt and sweetness as preferred.
- Pour the mixture into a storage container and stir in the chia seeds. Let sit for 10 minutes, stirring again to eliminate big clumps. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to thicken.
- For the crumble, return to the skillet and over medium-low heat, toast the oats, stirring until golden brown for about 8 minutes. You may add butter for more flavor. Remove from heat and cool.
- In a mini food processor, blend the pecans and medjool dates to form a crumble. Add toasted oats, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt, pulsing to combine.
- To serve, layer the chia pudding and crumble together in a small cup or bowl.
Notes
For a sweeter pudding, increase the amount of maple syrup or jam to taste.
This pudding can be prepared a day in advance for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
