Directions

1. Add the blueberries, almond milk, cinnamon, and maple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend for about 15 seconds until smooth and combined.
2. Transfer the mixture to a sealable jar or container.
3. Add the chia seeds and stir very well to distribute evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
4. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours), until the chia seeds have fully absorbed the liquid and the pudding is thick and creamy.
5. In the morning, scoop into a bowl or enjoy straight from the jar. Top with pepitas just before serving.

Chef's Notes

• No clumps: The double-stir is key — stir once immediately after adding the chia seeds, then again 5 minutes later after the seeds have started to absorb. This ensures a smooth, lump-free pudding.
• Sweetness control: Start with 1 tsp maple syrup — the blended blueberries add natural sweetness. Taste after chilling and add a drizzle more if needed. Ripe summer blueberries may need none at all.
• Meal prep friendly: Make a full batch on Sunday and portion into 4 jars. They keep beautifully in the fridge for up to 5 days. Add the pepitas just before eating so they stay crunchy.
