Vegan Matcha Cinnamon Chia Pudding

This vegan and gluten-free Matcha Cinnamon Chia Pudding is perfect for breakfast! It fills you for hours without making you feel super stuffed.

This Matcha Cinnamon Chia Pudding is vegan, gluten-free, and sweetened with maple syrup. It can be made the day ahead and is therefore an excellent breakfast idea when you don’t have a lot of time in the mornings or you tend to oversleep.

The 2-layered Matcha Cinnamon Chia Pudding is not only pretty to look at, but also yummy and it keeps me full the whole morning until lunch. It’s a great post-yoga/workout treat as well!

The basic formula for Chia Puddings

I’ve found the perfect ratio to be:

• 1 cup plant-based milk
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons chia seeds

You can add any kind of spices or flavors (cinnamon, cardamom, cocoa,..) or fruits into the mixture!

Matcha Chia Seed Pudding Layer

• ▢ 1/2 cup plant-based milk – I used unsweetened rice coconut milk
• ▢ 3/4 teaspoon matcha
• ▢ 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• ▢ 1 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds

Cinnamon Chia Seed Pudding Layer

• ▢ 1/4 cup plant-based milk – I used unsweetened rice coconut milk again
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup
• ▢ 3/4 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions

 

• For the matcha chia seed pudding layer, combine the plant-based milk, matcha powder, and maple syrup in a bowl. Whisk together. Add the chia seeds and give it another whisk.
• For the cinnamon chia seed pudding layer, combine the plant-based milk, cinnamon powder and maple syrup in another bowl. Whisk together. Add the chia seeds. Give it another whisk. Store both containers in the fridge for 5-8 hours or overnight to thicken. (I usually prepare the chia pudding the day ahead and let it sit in the fridge overnight.)
• Then spoon the matcha layer into a glass jar, and add the cinnamon layer on top. Enjoy!
