Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
Step 2: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumps, until the mixture thickens to a creamy pudding consistency.
