Chai Chia-budding
Ingredienser
- ½ kop Chia frø - (note 1)
- 2 kop Mandelmælk - (note 2)
- ½ kop Kokos yoghurt - (note 3)
- 4 spiseskefulde Ahornsirup - (note 4) optional
- 1 teske Vanille ekstrakt
Chia Spices
- 1 ¼ teske Kanel
- ½ teske Ground Cardamon - (note 5)
- ½ teske Ground Ginger
- ⅛ teske Jordnøddermus
- ⅛ teske allehånde
Instruktioner
- In a small bowl, add chia seeds, all the chai spices and use a fork to combine.
- Pour milk, coconut yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Use a fork to stir everything well together. The dried spices tend to float on top of the milk, keep whisking to dissolve them as much as you can. They will stay on top, that's ok. Set the batch of chia pudding aside on the benchtop for the next 10 minutes, and every 2-3 minutes, stir to make sure the spices mix into the milk and the chia seeds don't form lumps.
- Dæk skålen med låg eller husholdningsfilm, og stil den i køleskabet i mindst 2 timer eller natten over, indtil buddingen er tyk, og kernerne har absorberet væsken.
- The next day, stir again for a minute to combine the spices from the top to the rest of the pudding.
- Serve with fresh banana slices, drizzle of peanut butter, coconut yogurt, and a pinch of cinnamon.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
You only need a few simple ingredients for this recipe. Here’s how to pick them.
- Chia frø – The key ingredient of the pudding, these tiny seeds swell as they absorb liquid, creating a luscious, custard-like texture and packing in protein, fiber, and omega fatty acids. If you’re not a fan of the texture, you can lightly grind them (but be sure to measure before grinding) or try using ground flaxseeds, though they won’t gel quite the same way.
- Mandelmælk – This provides the smooth, creamy liquid base and a subtle nutty flavor that complements the spices. You can substitute with any plant-based milk such as soy, coconut, or oat milk depending on your creaminess or protein preferences. Just keep in mind that using a thicker milk like coconut may yield an even richer pudding.
- Kokos yoghurt – Adds extra creaminess and a tropical tang that enhances the chai spices. While coconut yogurt is especially complementary here, you can also opt for dairy-free cashew or soy yogurt. Using non-dairy yogurt helps maintain the pudding’s smooth consistency.
- Maple Syrup (Optional) – A natural sweetener that gently balances the spicy flavors of chai. Alternatives include agave syrup, coconut nectar, or even brown rice syrup if you prefer a slightly different sweetness. Adjust the quantity based on your taste preference for sweetness.
- Vanille ekstrakt – Vanilla adds a warm flavor that ties all the ingredients together. If you’re missing vanilla, a dash of almond extract can offer a similar, though subtly different, aromatic touch.
- Kanel – The primary spice that infuses the pudding with that unmistakable chai warmth. Feel free to adjust the amount if you love a spicier note or want to mellow it down a bit.
- Stødt kardemomme – This delivers an aromatic, citrusy note that is typical to chai. If you only have cardamom pods, grind them using a coffee grinder, or if unavailable, you might simply up the cinnamon slightly to compensate.
- Stødt ingefær – Adds a zesty kick that boosts the pudding. Fresh ginger could be used but may alter the texture slightly, so the ground version is ideal for even flavor distribution.
- Jordnøddermus – This brings a nutty flavor that goes very well with the other spices. Use it sparingly, as its flavor can be potent, yet it is key to that authentic chai taste.
- allehånde – Provides a subtle blend of sweet and spicy notes that rounds out the chai spice mix. Although optional, it contributes to a richer, more layered flavor in the pudding.
How to Make Chai Chia Pudding
Like all chia seed recipes, this is a really easy recipe to whip up. Here’s how in pictures.

Combine all the dry ingredients (spices + chia seeds) in a container.

Pour the unsweetened almond milk on top of the dry ingredients.

Stir the mixture to make sure the spices are absorbed by the milk.

Let the pudding rest for 20 minutes but stir it every 5 minutes to prevent the seeds from sinking. Keep it overnight in the fridge to set.
Carines tips
I have a few more tips for you to make the very best pudding.
- Stir Early and Often – Once you mix in the almond milk, coconut yogurt, and spices, whisk the pudding every 2–3 minutes during the first 10 minutes to prevent the chia seeds from clumping and to help dissolve the spices.
- Keep an Eye on the Spices – The dried spices tend to float on top initially. Regular stirring helps to distribute them evenly, ensuring every spoonful is infused with balanced chai flavors.
- Adjust Sweetness to Taste – Taste your blended mixture before letting it set. Depending on your preference and the natural sweetness of your ingredients, you might want to tweak the amount of maple syrup or try another liquid sweetener.
- Customize Your Spice Blend – Don’t be afraid to play with the ratios—if you like cinnamon, a bit more can boost the flavor; you can also pre-soak the cardamom pods in lukewarm almond milk overnight, then remove the pods before using the milk.
- Grind for a Smoother Texture – If the texture of whole chia seeds isn’t to your liking, you can lightly grind them. Just measure out the seeds first to maintain the right proportions.
- Chill grundigt – For best results, refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds ample time to absorb the liquid and for the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Kreative toppings – When serving, consider adding fresh banana slices, a drizzle of your favorite nut butter (like peanut or almond), an extra spoonful of coconut yogurt, or even a final dusting of cinnamon for that extra flavor.
- Rør rundt før servering – Give the pudding a good stir right before serving to reincorporate any spices that may have floated to the top, ensuring a consistent flavor in every bite.
Betjeningsforslag
This is a very simple breakfast or dessert recipe, but it’s also very easy to transform it with different add-ins.
- Spice It Up Further – Add a pinch of other warm spices such as cloves or even a dash of black pepper for an extra twist on the chai flavor.
- Layer It Out – Transform your chia pudding into a parfait by layering it with sliced fruits, a sprinkle of granola, or a handful of toasted nuts for additional texture.
- Marvel til forberedelse af måltider – Store your chai chia pudding in airtight jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it an ideal grab-and-go breakfast or a healthy snack to enjoy throughout the week.








Go for the cardamom, because it’s worth it!
