    Ingredients & Substitution Notes

    all ingredients needed for pear &  almond butter chia seeds: almond butter, chia seeds, plant milk, yoghurt, maple syrup, cinnamon
    • Chia Seeds: When mixed with a liquid, chia seeds have the ability to soak up that liquid and expand a lot in size. Depending on how you would like the consistency of your chia pudding (thicker or runnier) you will need to use more or less liquid. 
    • Pears: For this recipe, I prefer using ripe ones since they are naturally sweeter and add an amazing taste to this recipe. 
    • Almond Butter: I used homemade almond butter in this recipe, you can also use any store-bought one. Personally, I prefer using nut butters that consist of 100% nuts, without any additives like palm oil or similar. 
    • Plant Milk: I love using oat milk in sweet recipes since it's naturally sweeter than many other types of plant milk. The recipe works fine with all types of plant milk though- just make sure to taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. 
    • Yogurt: The same accounts for yogurt. You could use any (plain) yogurt of your choice here!
