Apple Chia Pudding Peanut Butter

A creamy wholesome pudding layered with fresh apple and rich peanut butter is perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.

I first discovered chia pudding on a busy morning and loved how quickly it comes together as a satisfying breakfast. The blend of apples and peanut butter makes every spoonful extra delightful.

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, a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

Mix the 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.

Assemble the Pudding:

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 and Serve:

Top with chopped peanuts apple slices and a drizzle of maple syrup if using.

Recipe Questions & Answers

→ What is a good substitute for peanut butter?

For nut-free options, sunflower seed butter works well and maintains the creamy swirl effect.
