Vegan Cacao Chia Pudding for Gluten-Free

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup coconut milk (or any other non-dairy milk such as almond milk or soy milk)
• 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust according to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional toppings: sliced bananas, berries, shredded coconut, chopped nuts

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, raw cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
2. Whisk everything together until well combined.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
5. Once the pudding has reached your desired consistency, give it a final stir.
6. Serve the pudding in bowls or jars, and top with your favorite toppings like sliced bananas, berries, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts.
7. Enjoy your dairy-free cacao chia pudding!

As before, feel free to adjust the sweetness and consistency according to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup and coconut milk.
