Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, add the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Vigorously whisk the mixture for about 2 minutes, ensuring a silky texture.
  3. Let the chia pudding mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
  4. Transfer the thickened chia pudding into individual jars or airtight containers and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. When ready to enjoy, gently stir the pudding and add a splash of milk if needed.
  6. Top your chia pudding with fresh fruits, toasted coconut, or nut and seed mix.
