Method

Preparation

In a bowl, mix chia seeds with almond milk, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and molasses.
Stir well to combine and ensure there are no clumps.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
Once set, stir the pudding again before serving.
Serve in bowls or jars and add your choice of toppings.

Notes

For extra creaminess, blend the pudding before serving. Experiment with the spices to find your perfect flavor profile. Adding a pinch of sea salt can enhance the sweetness of the pudding.
