Save to Pinterest A creamy, wholesome pudding layered with fresh apple and rich peanut butter—perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.
I remember the first time I made this pudding for my family, we loved how the peanut butter and apple flavors came together so deliciously. It is now a regular in our breakfast rotation because everyone enjoys it.
Ingredients
- Pudding Base: 2 cups (480 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice), 1/2 cup (80 g) chia seeds, 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Apple Layer: 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Peanut Butter Swirl: 4 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- Garnish (optional): 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts, apple slices, drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix Pudding Base:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until thickened.
- Prepare Apple Layer:
- In a small bowl, toss diced apples with lemon juice and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Layer and Swirl:
- When ready to serve, stir the chia pudding well. Spoon a layer of pudding into serving glasses or bowls, add a layer of apple mixture, then swirl in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter per serving. Repeat layers if desired.
- Garnish:
- Top with chopped peanuts, apple slices, and a drizzle of maple syrup if using.
