Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts), shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, pour in the unsweetened almond milk, followed by the pure pumpkin puree. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to blend all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.

    Slowly sprinkle the chia seeds into the mixture while continuously whisking. This technique helps prevent the chia seeds from clumping together, ensuring an even distribution throughout the pudding.

      After everything is well combined, you can either cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars or containers for convenience.

        Make sure to seal the containers tightly and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to chill and thicken for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, giving the chia seeds ample time to absorb the liquid.

          When you're ready to enjoy your chia pudding, give it a good stir. If the pudding has thickened more than you'd prefer, simply add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve your Pumpkin Spice Chia Dream in bowls or jars, and feel free to get creative with toppings! Consider adding your choice of chopped nuts for crunch, shredded coconut for a tropical flair, dried cranberries for a hint of tartness, or a dollop of yogurt for a creamy finish.
