Chef's Note
For the creamiest texture, use a blender to combine all wet ingredients before adding the chia seeds. This creates a smoother base and helps prevent clumping. You can also prepare a larger batch of the dry spice mixture to have on hand for future puddings or other pumpkin recipes.

Ingredients
1/3 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
2 tablespoons pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
1/2 cup fresh berries
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- 2
Add 1/3 cup chia seeds to the mixture and whisk thoroughly to ensure no clumps form.
- 3
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps that may have formed.
- 4
Divide the mixture evenly between two mason jars or airtight containers.
- 5
Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- 6
Toast 2 tablespoons of pepitas and 2 tablespoons of chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
- 7
When ready to serve, stir the pudding and check the consistency. If it's too thick, add a splash of almond milk; if too thin, add a few more chia seeds and let sit for 15 minutes.
- 8
Top each serving with the toasted pepitas, pecans, 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup of fresh berries.
- 9
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness if desired.
- 10
Enjoy immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
