Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding



It's nearly March but we still have a few more weeks of cold weather ahead of us. Luckily, that means more time for warm, soul-satisfying puddings!

I definitely recommend giving this recipe a try if you're suffering from the winter blues. It's a great after-dinner dessert - but equally suitable for breakfast. (Not to mention crazy nutritious).


  • 1 c. coconut milk
  • 1/2 c. pumpkin puree 
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/4 c. chia seeds
  • 1/4 c. agave syrup (or maple syrup, or honey)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Pumpkin seeds to garnish (optional)



  1. In a small saucepan add coconut milk, pumpkin, water, agave syrup, salt, spices, and vanilla and bring to a boil. 
  2. Reduce heat to low and add chia seeds. 
  3. Whisk gently until pudding thickens (about 3 minutes). 
  4. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with pumpkin seeds. Makes 4 servings.
