Easy Pumpkin Chia Pudding paired with quick sautéed apples for a nutritious fall breakfast, snack, or dessert. Perfect for meal prep and busy workweek fuel!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup white chia seeds
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 heaping TBSP Low Sugar Pumpkin Apple Butter (If you don’t want to make your own, use store-bought or sub 1 TBSP maple syrup or sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 apple, cored and diced
- avocado oil spray
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
For serving
- 1 cup almond, cashew, or coconut milk yogurt, plain unsweetened (I like this kind!)
- 1 cup apple chips and/or granola
- 3 TBSP peanut butter
Instructions
- To make your pumpkin chia pudding, add the chia seeds, pumpkin puree, unsweetened almond milk, pumpkin apple butter, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl and whisk with a fork until well combined. Allow it to sit in the fridge for 4 hours, or overnight, so the pudding thickens.
- Spray a large skillet with avocado oil and heat over medium-high heat. One the pan is hot, add the diced apple and sprinkle them with cinnamon. Sauté the apples for 8-10 minutes, stirring them frequently, until the apple cubes are soft and fragrant. It should look a bit like apple pie filling!
- To assemble the Pumpkin Chia Pudding Parfait Cups with Sautéed Apples, layer the pumpkin chia pudding with desired toppings until pudding is gone. Makes ~3 parfait cups. I layered my chia pudding with almond milk yogurt, peanut butter, sautéed apples, and apple chips.
- Store leftover pumpkin chia pudding and sautéed apples separately in the fridge for 3-5 days.
