Ingredients
- 5 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup almond milk
- ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 apples, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to thicken.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, melt coconut oil. Add cubed apples, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Cook for ~2 minutes, then reduce heat and cook another 5–6 minutes, stirring, until apples are soft and caramelized.
- Once chia pudding is set, layer it into jars or bowls alternately with the sautéed apples.
- Serve chilled or slightly warm (you can warm the apples before layering if desired).
Notes
- Add nutmeg or ginger to the apples for extra spice.
- Top with granola or chopped nuts for crunch.
- Stir in coconut yogurt or nut butter for extra creaminess.
- Use oat, soy, or another plant milk in place of coconut milk.
- Store chia pudding and apple compote separately in the fridge for up to 5 days.
