Now that pumpkin season is here, you should try making this Pumpkin Chia Pudding as an easy breakfast or snack. Even kids will try this recipe that tastes like a pumpkin pie!

Chia puddings are generally very healthy, too. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and plant-based protein. 

As written, this recipe is:

• paleo,
• dairy-free,
• gluten-free, 
• grain-free, 
• and sooooo delicious!

Making chia pudding can be surprisingly tricky. The reason is that you need to get the right ratio between chia seeds and whatever liquid you are using.

For today’s pudding recipe, I used both coconut milk and pumpkin puree which aren’t as thin as water or almond milk.

So, I tested this one a few times and found that 1 cup of full-fat canned coconut milk, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 cup of puree with 1/3 cup of chia seeds makes for the perfect pudding consistency.

See the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Recipe Steps

Step One

The first step of this recipe is to grab a bowl and combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, water, and molasses or maple syrup. 

You can also use date syrup if you want a lower sugar option.

Step Two

Whisk or stir the ingredients together and then place the bowl in the refrigerator so the pudding can set for at least 30 minutes. 

Step Three

After the pudding has set, serve it between bowls or parfait glasses. Or, you can cover the bowl and store the chia pudding in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
