Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin Coconut Chia Pudding
Its pumpkin season! Whats better than a quick and easy dish thats both a nutritious and yummy treat? This pudding is loaded with Vitamin A, fiber and has a low glycemic load (less likely to spike blood sugar). Its great for breakfast, dessert or snack.
Gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free!
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups organic pumpkin puree
- 1.5c organic coconut milk (culinary)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- lots of cinnamon
- dash of cloves, nutmeg, ginger
(you can also find "pumpkin pie spice" in most grocery stores which contains all of these spices!)
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together
2. Let sit for 3 hours (this allows the consistency to become pudding-like as the chia seeds do their magic)
3. Serve & Enjoy!
4. Optional topping: crushed pecans or walnuts, coconut flakes and um... more cinnamon (I love cinnamon)
