Ultimate Keto Overnight Almond Chia Pudding

321 ratings

This is the most ultimate Keto chia pudding recipe you’ll ever need. You’ll never need another morning breakfast recipe because the simplicity of this one will beat everything else out of the water. Take just 5 minutes to prepare everything and let your refrigerator do the rest. Raw chia seeds are mixed with almond milk and just a couple of other ingredients. You can add in your own mix-ins, but some suggestions are made further below. The pudding will thicken overnight, and you can eat it immediately after waking up in the morning. This is a gluten-free and vegan Keto recipe, so anyone can enjoy it. Even if you don’t fit those categories, you’ll never get over how easy Keto recipes can be.

What else can I add to my pudding?

There are lots of mix-ins or toppings you can add to chia pudding. If you like the almond flavor or want something that gives the illusion of a sweeter taste, add a drop of almond extract or vanilla extract to your pudding in the initial steps. For texture, try adding chopped nuts or whole blueberries to the pudding.

Tips to keep in mind

It’s important to pay attention to the temperatures of your chia pudding while you’re making it. It’s important to make sure your entire mixture gets hot throughout so all the seeds can rehydrate properly. Equally, the chia pudding needs to chill completely before it will thicken up properly. Don’t take any shortcuts with the times!

Perfect Keto breakfast

Overnight almond chia pudding is perfect for breakfast for anyone who is always in a rush in the mornings. Divide the raw pudding amongst small mason jars that can be sealed. Take the thickened pudding in the jars to go without missing a second of your busy morning!

    I did 4 - 45 second zaps in microwave. Think I’ll try a couple more next time as it’s still got a little chew to it. I’ll definitely play around with the flavours as I couldn’t find nibs and I find it a bit bland. But it’s a nice change from eggs in the morning.

      Heating and stirring on low-med heat on the stovetop instead of the microwave allows you to keep a better eye on how the chia are hydrating and how the pudding is thickening. I made my own version with a shot of pumpkin spice coffee enhancer and sugar free vanilla syrup instead of the berries and cacao and it was so good I ate it hot!

        It was a complete fail for me. I likely missed something. Open to suggestions. 2 oz of chia seeds seemed too little for 2 cups of liquid. I weighed 2 oz chia seeds and it looked like 1 table spoon. I used 1 cup almond milk and 1 cup heavy cream. Didn’t thicken for me after 30+ hours. Added more chia seeds and still it stayed too liquid for days. Finally poured it down the drain.

          Possibly the chia seeds are old or too much liquid.

          I liked it ok. It thickened really nice. The flavor was ok. It was just too bland for me. I think I’ll add some vanilla extract and make it more like a French vanilla pudding flavor.

            Just delicious! I change a few things.. Instead of 2 cups of vanilla almond I add 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and one cup of heavy cream (1 spoon of vanilla). Instead of berries and cacao nibs I add unsweetened coconut and 1oz crush walnuts. Highly recommended 😀

            I used heavy cream and water(1:1) instead of almond milk and have tried different variations- cinnamon and sf vanilla sweetener is one of my favorite- reminds me of my g'mas rice pudding, I think I'm going to try PB powder next.

            Came out perfectly.I boiled it in a sauce pan on the stove top on low heat and also maybe added a bit more chia seeds. It thickened as I kept stirring.

              Mine didn’t turn into pudding. What did I do wrong? It’s just milk with the chia seeds and the mix ins. I did microwave until it was hot and mix after. Not sure why it didn’t thicken. Any thoughts?

                It should be 2 tablespoons of chia seeds for every 1/2 cup of milk. Also, cooking chia seeds causes them to lose their nutritional benefits. So I never cook them. Mix the ingredients in a glass jar and put in the fridge. Take it out after 30 mins and mix again to redistribute the seeds. Then let it sit in the fridge overnight.

                Maybe they were poppyseeds and not chia

              I noticed the recipe called for ounces not tablespoons. Weighed it out on my kitchen scale and it was perfect! I think the people complaining about it being running didn’t add enough chia seeds.

                I agree. I weighed my out as well and it came out perfect.
