Ingredients & Substitution Notes
- 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!
