4.1 from 58 reviews

A quick and nutritious Apple Chia Pudding blending the creamy texture of Greek yogurt with apple sauce and chia seeds. Naturally sweetened with honey and spiced with cinnamon and vanilla, this healthy dessert or breakfast option sets overnight for a smooth, thick consistency.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 5 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
  • ½ cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or lemon zest)

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, apple sauce, milk, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add the Chia Seeds: Stir in chia seeds thoroughly. Whisk the mixture for about 30 seconds to break up any clumps of chia seeds. Allow the mixture to rest on the counter for 5 minutes to start thickening, then whisk again quickly before refrigerating.
  3. Chill Until Thick: Transfer the mixture into serving jars or cover the bowl tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight is best, until the pudding has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  4. Stir and Serve: Give the pudding a good stir to ensure it’s creamy and ready to eat. Top with fresh diced apples, nuts, an extra drizzle of honey, or any preferred toppings for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • The pudding can be prepared the night before for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
  • Use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, cow’s milk, or oat milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup before serving.
  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Stir the pudding well before serving to maintain smooth texture.
