ALMOND BUTTER CHIA PUDDING INGREDIENTS
- chia seeds
- almond milk (or milk of choice)
- maple syrup
- almond butter
But you know we have to talk about the obvious here right? This almond butter chia pudding that IS mine and your new favorite breakfast. If you have yet to try chia pudding, what are you waiting for? I’m pretty weird about food textures, but I kind of love the texture of chia pudding.
HOW TO MAKE CHIA PUDDING WITH ALMOND MILK
Have you ever made overnight oats? If so, making chia pudding is quite similar.
First, whisk the almond butter, maple syrup and milk together. Since we’re making almond butter pudding, I do recommend using almond milk for a little extra almond-y flavor, but technically speaking any kind of milk works.
Next, stir in the chia seeds. You’ll want to whisk everything together–chia seeds included–for 30 seconds or so. Then, place the bowl in the refrigerator, or you can distribute the mixture into cups or jars and refrigerate them for at least three hours. I find that it’s easiest to make chia pudding at night so then breakfast is ready for you in the mornings.
I opted to top it with almonds and an extra drizzle of almond butter for good measure. Additional toppings include: peanuts, banana and/or chocolate chips. Regardless of what you top it with, you need—yes, NEED—to make this almond butter chia pudding if you’re an almond butter lover. ..which I know you are because we already talked about it 😉

Notes
This looks so healthy and delicious. Best combo ever!
Dreamy is the perfect name for this chia pudding – it literally has all of the most delicious foods in it! And that almond butter addict you were describing? Yup, definitely me to a T
Yuuuuuhs you’re speaking straight to my soul! I’m big on almond butter and can always use a mega dose of chia seed pudding. Loving how easy this is to put together!
Right?! Almond butter+chia seeds are the way to go. Thanks Julia!
This looks perfect! I love chia seed pudding sooo much!
Me too–thanks Molly!
I am allllll about the almond butter these days and this is something my breakfast needs! I’ve never really had much luck with chia seed pudding before – I don’t know what happens. I’m definitely going to be giving it another shot now!
Definitely try it again. The first couple times I made it I added too much liquid so the seeds weren’t able to soak it all up. I finally got the proportions right!
Oh my gosh. This looks amazing!! What a nourishing way tons start the day! I love the cute little jars! Seriously, this is so beautiful!!
Thank you Cailee!
I’m crazy about chia pudding and this sounds quite honestly heavenly!! This would be the perfect after dinner treat, not too sweet, but very satisfying. Pinning!!
Yes so true!! Not just a breakfast food.
I do love me some almond butter and I do love me some chia pudding – so this is definitely for me!
My highlight this weekend was a playdate -like Layla- or maybe it was more like a lunch with an old friend at a delicious Indian restaurant! But slobbering was involved when I saw the buffet!
HAHAH pretty much the same kind of play date 😀
Great! I have been trying to find a chia pudding recipe that doesn’t involve bananas and coconut flour (I do like it with them but want something different with less fruit) so this sounds perfect!
Ohhhh yes yes then this would definitely work. Let me know if you try it 🙂
I feel like you wrote this post for me. I don’t know where I would be without my AB. It’s my crack. I want to lick it out of the chia pudding, lol!
Just kidding, I would eat the pudding too. The whole thing sounds delicious! 🙂
Almond butter is crack, and I think mostly every food blogger would agree 😉 Thanks Sarah!
I also adore the texture of chia pudding! It’s so fun and funky. This looks so filling, I just might have it for breakfast tomorrow.
It really is. Let me know if you try it!
I just recently tried my first chia pudding and it was one of those experiences where you wonder how you didn’t know about this your whole life! I love the texture! I’ll pretty much eat almond butter in any form … on a spoon is my fave! 😉
I felt the same way the first time I tried chia pudding! So amazing and easy to make too.
Ch-ch-ch-chia! Love how simple this is and all my favorite flavors (aka AB + maple all the way). Definitely going to prep this for some snacks this week since grad school will be back in full swing starting tomorrow (eek!!).
Eeeekkk!! I hope your first week back went well 🙂
Chia pudding on its own kind of freaks me out, BUT I can eat anything with almond butter. I swear I need to start making my own because it’s getting too expensive buying it.
Haha is it a texture thing? Because if so I totally get it. I actually enjoy the texture but I could see where someone might not like it.
For sure you can always find some sort of almond butter in my fridge!! I love Barney’s and TJs!
Ughhhh those are my two favs too!! And Justin’s vanilla flavored
My favorite way to enjoy almond butter is in a smoothie! It adds a delicious nuttiness plus it keeps me full longer.
Couldn’t agree more!
OHHH YES thisssss looks great. I can’t wait to try it, I’ve been wanting to experiment with chia puddings!
Yes do it! Chia pudding is my favorite even though I tend to forget about it.
DROOLING…Almond butter and nut butter go on EVERYTHING for me…I do not discriminate. I do like how a lot of bloggers are posting fun recipes lately about chia pudding. It’s like it is making a comeback. HA! Just picked up some bananas yesterday, so I am going to have to whip this up tomorrow! XOXO
Yessss let me know if you try it!
Oh my gosh so good! This looks really good and I just realized I don’t have any almond butter in the house. Riley informed me I have “too many” nut butters, which makes no sense at all.
I went to D.C. for my best friend’s engagement party this weekend. It was great to get away for a night!
I don’t think there is such thing as too many nut butters 😀
OMG! I need to swap out my oatmeal for this chia pudding! My favorite way to eat almond butter is straight out of the jar like a champ!
HAHA that really is the best way, isn’t it?
