I’m a biiiiig chia seed pudding fan and I always get so excited when Fall rolls around so I can get super festive with the flavors.

Who doesn’t want their breakfast to taste like apple pie?! And who doesn’t want their apple pie tasting breakfast to actually be good for them?! *Raises hand*

This apple pie chia pudding is the perfect Fall breakfast. Make this for breakfast, my apple arugula salad for lunch, pumpkin pasta for dinner and pumpkin cookies for dessert and you’ll have the ultimate day of Fall eating! For extra flavor, top this apple chia pudding with my maple air fryer apples!

Key Ingredients

Chia Seeds: This makes up the bulk of the recipe. Either black or white chia seeds work well. They add lots of protein, fiber and

Apple Sauce: This gives the chia pudding a delicious apple flavor.

Non-dairy milk: Any non-dairy milk will work for this recipe. I personally used vanilla almond milk.

Apple Pie Spice: For all that apple pie cookies! See the recipes notes on a DIY apple pie spice if you do not have any.

Maple Syrup: To lighten sweeten the recipe. You can also use honey or regular granulated sugar if you prefer. This recipe is naturally refined sugar free since it is just sweetened with maple syrup. You can substitute the maple syrup for either honey or coconut sugar. I personally think the maple syrup adds a great Fall flavor though.

How to make apple pie chia pudding

If you’ve never made chia pudding before, have no fear because it couldn’t be any easier.

For this apple pie chia pudding, all you need to do is add all ingredients into a large bowl or container and stir it really well. Let it set in the fridge overnight or for at least 1 hour to thicken.

You can prep the apples ahead of time, or just before you’re about to eat. To do so, add the coconut oil to a pan and let it melt.

Next, add in the cored and chopped apple, cinnamon and maple syrup. Let cook for about 5 minutes and serve with the chia pudding.

Note: If you do not have apple pie spice, combine 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon, 1 1/2 tbsp nutmeg, and 1 tsp allspice. Mix well. Use a total of 1 – 1 1/2 tsp for this recipe. Try my pumpkin pie chia pudding next!

How to store

Once prepared, this chia pudding will last in the fridge for 5 days. Store it in an air tight container or jar for best results.

Chia pudding tips

Does chia pudding have to thicken overnight? This chia pudding thickens pretty quickly, so it does not need to sit overnight. It does make the morning easier to prep at night, but it will thicken in about 1 hour sitting in the fridge.

What ratio of liquid should I use? To ensure the proper thickness of chia pudding, you also want to use a 1:4 ratio of chia seeds to liquid.
