It’s the start of a new year! Have you set any resolutions? Are you trying to eat a bit healthier? Healthy eating doesn’t have to feel impossible or taste bland! I think one of the reasons people have a hard time sticking to healthy eating resolutions is because they might think they have to give up their sweet tooth or their favorite foods.
Today I am sharing this creamy, dreamy, and healthy Peanut Butter Cup Chia Pudding! It has all the healthy fiber and protein you need to start your day. This chia pudding is also loaded with chocolate and peanut butter, making it a delectable and delicious dessert option!
Chia pudding is kind of like overnight oatmeal. The chia seeds have to sit in the liquid for a significant amount of time so they can absorb the liquid and grow to make a creamy pudding.
Ingredients for Peanut Butter Chia Pudding?
Peanut Butter Cup Chia Pudding only takes 6 ingredients that you probably already have in your cabinet!
- Chia Seeds
- Liquid of choice (almond, oat, coconut, dairy milk or water)
- Cocoa powder or Cacao powder
- Vanilla Extract
- Honey (or sweetener of choice)
- Peanut Butter
- Chopped peanuts and chocolate chips (optional)
How do I make Peanut Butter Chia Seed Pudding?
Chia seed pudding is super simple to make! I usually make it the night before I am going to eat it so it has plenty of time to get thick and creamy. First, you will combine your chia seeds, liquid, cacao or cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and honey. Stir it all together until it is well combined. Cover your pudding mixture and set it in the fridge for 2-4 hours or overnight.
After your pudding has set and become a creamy texture, place a tablespoon of peanut butter on the bottom of your bowl, layer that with some chia pudding and top it off with more peanut butter, chopped peanuts, and chocolate chips.
How Many Days Does Chia Pudding Last in the Fridge?
Personally, I will eat chia pudding up to 5 days in the fridge. If I make a big batch Sunday night or Monday morning I will eat it all week long. The chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid while they sit so the last two batches might be a big goopy, creamy or too thick but you can add liquid to them to thin it back out.
If you want to make something like this Keto Lemon Chia Pudding that has fruit in it, make sure and leave the fruit out and only add it to your pudding once you are ready to eat it.
