Ingredients
Scale
Peach Mixture
- 2 ripe large peaches, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or 2 tbsp brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- Juice and zest of half a lemon
- Pinch of kosher salt
Chia Pudding Base
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plain plant-based yogurt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk or pea milk
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
Crumble Topping
- 3 tbsp gluten-free rolled oats
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 3 soft medjool dates
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Cook the Peach Mixture: Heat a sauté pan over medium-low heat and add sliced peaches, brown sugar or maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, lemon zest and juice, ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the peaches soften and the juices thicken slightly.
- Blend the Pudding Base: Take about one cup of the cooked peach mixture and put it in a blender cup with the plant-based yogurt, soy or pea milk, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a resealable container, then add chia seeds. Stir to combine thoroughly. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate overnight to let the chia seeds gel.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a mini food processor, blend the gluten-free oats until a chunky flour forms. Add the almond flour, medjool dates, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until a fine crumbly texture is achieved but still with some chunkiness for texture.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the chia pudding into serving glasses or bowls. Pinch the crumble topping together to form bigger clumps and sprinkle generously over the pudding. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by using maple syrup or brown sugar according to your preference.
- Use plant-based yogurt and milk options to keep the recipe vegan and dairy-free.
- The overnight chilling step is important to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb liquid and set to pudding consistency.
- For extra crunch, you can toast the crumble topping lightly before serving.
