Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour in your choice of milk, followed by 6 to 7 tablespoons of chia seeds, maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract. Then, add the molasses along with the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Use a whisk to thoroughly mix everything together until the chia seeds are well-coated and distributed.
  2. Once all ingredients are combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it rest on your kitchen counter for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. After the initial resting period, give the mixture another good stir to combine and break up any clumps.
  4. Allow the Gingerbread Chia Pudding to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
  5. Once chilled, take the bowl out of the fridge and give the pudding a final stir to smooth it out.
  6. Serve your gingerbread chia pudding in bowls or jars, and feel free to elevate it with your favorite toppings!
