Peanut Butter & Jelly Chia Pudding
Ingredients
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup nut milk of choice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp maple syrup
Berry Jam:
1 1/2 cups fresh berries of your choice (We like blueberries, or a mixture or raspberries and strawberries)
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp chia seeds
Peanut butter layer:
1/4 cup peanut butter, melted
Optional toppings:
fresh berries
nuts
shredded coconut
cacao nibs
Instructions:
1. To prepare the chia pudding, add all pudding ingredients into a bowl and whisk together. Place in the fridge and let sit for a couple hours or overnight until the texture is a thick pudding. If it is too thick for your liking, just add some more almond milk.
2. In a saucepan, add your berries on medium heat, stirring constantly for 5-10 minutes, until berries are cooked down. Add in the maple syrup and chia seeds and stir together. Turn off the heat and let sit for a few minutes
3. To assemble your parfait, start with a layer of chia pudding, next add the berry jam layers and melted peanut butter. (Note: allow the peanut butter to soften to room temperature or gently warm in the microwave before trying to incorporate.)
4. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes to set. Enjoy as is, or topped with additional berries, nuts, and shredded coconut.
