Start your day with a nutritious avocado chia pudding, topped with spiced almond crunch. Perfect for an easy, healthy breakfast win!
Ingredients
- • ripe avocado: 1
- • chia seeds: 3 tablespoons
- • almond milk: 1 cup
- • honey or maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • raw almonds: 1/4 cup
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • cayenne pepper: 1/8 teaspoon
- • pinch of salt
Instructions
- 1 In a medium-sized bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Stir in chia seeds, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- 2 Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to expand and thicken the pudding.
- 3 While the pudding is chilling, prepare the spiced almond crunch. Preheat a small skillet over medium heat. Add raw almonds and toast for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant.
- 4 Once toasted, sprinkle the almonds with ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat evenly and remove from heat. Allow the almonds to cool slightly before roughly chopping them.
- 5 Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir, then divide it into two bowls. Top each serving with the spiced almond crunch. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful breakfast pudding immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • To complement this creamy and crunchy breakfast pudding, consider adding a side of fresh seasonal berries for an extra pop of color and nutrients. A refreshing glass of cold-pressed orange juice pairs beautifully with the zesty lime in the pudding, providing a vitamin C boost. Alternatively, a warm cup of green tea can offer a calming contrast to the vibrant flavors of this dish. For a more indulgent morning experience, drizzle a touch of extra maple syrup over the top, or sprinkle with unsweetened shredded coconut for added texture. This breakfast pudding is versatile enough to enjoy on its own or as part of a larger brunch spread.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the avocado chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Keep the spiced almond crunch in a separate sealed container at room temperature to maintain its crispness. When ready to eat, give the pudding a quick stir and top with the almonds just before serving to ensure the perfect texture.
