Cappuccino Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding

Today we are making Cappuccino Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding! This recipe transforms your ordinary cup of morning coffee into a coffee-inspired, cappuccino chia pudding! Think of the rich, robust flavors of your favorite cappuccino seamlessly melded with the thick pudding-like texture of chia seeds with that gel-like texture. It’s a fusion of comfort and nutrition that’s the perfect quick breakfast.

Chia pudding has been around for a while, with social media making this amazing seed even more popular (same goes for overnight oats. There are so many inventive ways to make your breakfast with variations of oats and chia seeds)! Now, I’ve tried so many flavors with chia pudding, and it’s very easy to make it work with your flavor of choice. From matcha, chocolate chip cookie dough, lemon coconut, peach pie and everything under the sun – breakfast can never be boring when there’s so many options!

So for today’s flavor, not only does this recipe offer a caffeine-infused kick to kickstart your day, but it also harnesses the incredible benefits of chia seeds. These tiny powerhouses are packed with antioxidants, dietary fiber, and Omega-3 fatty acids, making them a star in the realm of superfoods.

Here’s the cherry on top – it’s entirely vegan! So, whether you’re a devoted plant-based eater or simply seeking a breakfast recipe that doesn’t give you a sugar rush like a stack of pancakes doused in corn syrup under the name pancake syrup (which might be a little too much added sugar first thing in the morning), this cappuccino chia seed pudding is a game-changer for your morning routine!

Why You’ll Love This Cappuccino Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding

Morning Coffee Upgrade: There’s something undeniably comforting about that first sip of morning coffee, isn’t there? Well, this pudding takes that cozy ritual and transforms it into a delightful spoonable experience. Imagine waking up to the enticing aroma of a freshly brewed cappuccino, only this time, you get to eat it! Each creamy mouthful carries the essence of your favorite coffee shop, making every bite a truly indulgent and aromatic adventure. It’s like a coffee lover’s dream come true, right at your breakfast table.

Nutrient-Packed Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are more than just a trendy superfood; they’re nutritional powerhouses that your body will thank you for. In this recipe, they play a starring role, and for good reason. These tiny seeds are loaded with antioxidants, giving your body the defense it needs against free radicals. Plus, they’re packed with fiber, which not only keeps you feeling full but also supports healthy digestion. And let’s not forget the Omega-3 fatty acids, known for their heart-healthy benefits. So, with each spoonful of this pudding, you’re not only treating your taste buds but also nourishing your body from the inside out.

Substitutions

Oat Milk: Substitute with another non-dairy milk of choice. Soy milk will be a high-protein option, but coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk or others can work too. Oat milk has a sweet and nutty flavor, which is the one I use in this recipe for best results.

Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are a specific seed that fluffs up when kept in liquid. Do not substitute with another seed.

Pure Vanilla Extract: Choose a high-quality vanilla extract, without additional caramel color or dyes. You can also use pure vanilla flavor, which is non-alcoholic so can’t have the “extract” label.

Maple Syrup: Use agave nectar or your favorite sweetener of choice. Choose a liquid sweetener instead of a dry one like brown sugar or coconut sugar, so there isn’t any grittiness from the sugar left in the mixture after it thickens up in the fridge.

Instant Coffee Powder: Use dissolvable instant coffee powder. You can try to substitute all the milk with chilled black coffee or cold brew instead. However, for best result use milk as the liquid base and instant coffee as the recipe states. This will make it creamy and have a more intense coffee flavor.
