- 1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Purees and Spices
- ½ cup pure pumpkin purée
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
Seeds

Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid mixture to allow even thickening.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding has thickened and the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid, creating a gel-like consistency.
- Serve: Once set, stir the pudding lightly and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional toppings like nuts, cinnamon, or fresh fruit for added flavor and texture.
