This cinnamon apple chia seed pudding is my new favorite breakfast! It tastes like dessert, but it’s healthy! A win, win. Plus it is vegan + gluten free!
Chia seed pudding is crazy easy to make — mix it all together and throw it in the fridge overnight. The next morning the chia seeds will be expanded and you’ll have a thick, delicious pudding! And what is better than to top it with some cinnamon apples to get all the fall feels?
The cinnamon apple topping is a few extra steps, but so worth it. Take a chopped apple and add to a pan with some coconut oil. Add some cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt, and cook until the apples are soft! Then you’ll have a warm, flavorful topping on your cold chia seed pudding. Also! I like to add some warm peanut butter or almond butter on top of the apples. It just ties everything together!
