These Apple Pie Chia Pudding Pots are creamy, delicious and fruity, packed with good-for-you plant-based ingredients and taste like dessert. They are ready in just 5 minutes and are high in fibre and healthy fats.

I love chia pudding for breakfast and love playing around with different flavour combinations. While all things cinnamon and apple are typically Autumn or Winter flavours, this combination is a classic for a reason and you will love these pots all year round. They are cinnamon-spiced, naturally sweetened with dates, contain high fibre and healthy fat ingredients and taste like apple pie in every mouthful.

What ingredients do I need?

You can see the full recipe list with weights in the recipe card below and see my favourites in the “shop the recipe” section.

For the chia pudding mix:

Chia seeds: these are essential for a good chia pudding and absorb 3 times their volume in liquid.
Spices: this mix uses cinnamon, ginger and cardamom for a delicious dessert-style flavour.
Thick coconut yoghurt: I use the Cocos vanilla or natural yoghurt to make these super creamy as they are Greek-style yoghurt in texture.
Runny smooth almond butter: the runnier and smoother the better for mixing into these pots. You can also try cashew butter or use sunflower seed butter or tahini to make these nut-free.
Plant-based milk: any dairy-free milk is great like oat, almond, soya or coconut (from the carton).
Medjool dates: de-stone the dates and chop them up small to stir in. You could try raisins or other dried fruits instead.
Apple: grate the apple to add into the chia seed mix. No need to peel them as the skin has all the goodness and adds a lovely texture.

As for serving, I like to add more almond butter, thick coconut yoghurt, apple slices and some extra chia seeds. You can also drizzle some maple syrup over, too.

Are these gluten-free and nut-free?

These are naturally gluten-free and to keep them nut-free, swap the almond butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini.
