Welcome back to Pumpkin Week 2021! This is where we are celebrating all things pumpkin this year, so join in on the fun!

This recipe is an ultra-healthy breakfast, even though it tastes like pie! This Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding has everything you could want from pumpkin pie - sweetness, crunch, and spice. However, it is made healthy by layering with homemade chia pudding, which is also vegan! Get your pumpkin spice + pie fix with this extremely delicious Easy Pumpkin Pie Iced Latte!

Chia seeds make for an amazing vegan pudding or overnight oats. They soften in whichever liquid you add and then become thick and even creamier. Sweeten with agave nectar and chia pudding is delicious on its own!

Let's explore why this dish is so incredible.

Chia Seed Health Benefits

Perhaps the best health benefit of chia seeds is how rich they are in omega-3 fatty acids. These are the healthy fats that our bodies need but do not produce on their own. Omega-3s help to reduce inflammation and may fight free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic disease.

In addition, chia seeds can be added to almost anything. Sprinkle them on your sandwich, add some to your morning smoothie, or scoop a tablespoon into your cereal. No matter how you eat them, chia seeds are extremely beneficial to your diet!

Ingredients in Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding

For the Chia Pudding:

½ cup chia seeds
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1 ½ cups Full-fat coconut cream or milk (the canned version)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Pumpkin Pie Layer:

2 cups organic pumpkin puree (not pie filling!)
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon pumpkin spice blend

Optional Toppings:

Toasted pecans
Granola

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding

For the Chia Pudding:

Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl, stirring together until well combined.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or until it begins to thicken and becomes creamy. Stir slightly.
In the meantime, make the "pumpkin pie" layer.

For the Pumpkin Pie Layer:

In a bowl, add all ingredients, whisking everything together until well combined and smooth.

To Assemble:

To serve, add ¼ cup of chia pudding to a cup or jar and top with the "pumpkin pie" layer followed by toasted pecans and/or granola, if desired. Drizzle additional maple syrup, if preferred.

Tips & Tricks

STORAGE: Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Perfect for meal prep for the week!
SWEETENER: Instead of Agave, you can simply use maple syrup throughout entire recipe.
OVERNIGHT OPTION: Follow steps and then tightly cover individual bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours). Remove from the fridge when ready to use and assemble.
TOASTED NUTS: Add chopped pecans/walnuts to a baking sheet and toasting them in the oven (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 5-10 minutes, tossing them halfway to avoid browning on one side.
