¼cup(70 g) tahini, plus more for serving
3tablespoons(50 g) maple syrup, more to taste
1 ½teaspoonsvanilla paste or extract
1/8teaspoonfine sea salt
½cup(120 ml) well-shaken full-fat coconut milk, or plain plant yogurt
1cup(245 ml) unsweetened plant milk such as fresh almond milk (I used homemade nut milk)
granola or chopped up granola bar (grain-free if you like)
fresh berries
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
Whisk in the coconut milk until smooth, then whisk in the plant milk and chia seeds.
Let sit for 10 minutes, whisking a few times, to prevent the chia seed from clumping.
Cover the bowl or pour the pudding into a large jar or other storage container and chill until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
To serve, layer the ingredients into cups or jars like so:
a few tablespoons jam
⅓ - ½ cup chia pudding
a big spoonful of plant yogurt
a smaller spoonful of tahini
another spoonful of jam
chopped up granola bars
Notes
Be sure to give yourself several hours (or preferably overnight) to chill the pudding and let it set.
Feel free to swap in any nut or seed butter you like in place of the tahini.
If you don't have rhubarb, you can make this strawberry chia jam with any berries or frozen berries you like!
Variation: Chocolate Tahini Chia PuddingAdd 2-3 tablespoons cocoa powder along with the maple syrup. Increase the maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter. Serve with red berries and vanilla coconut yogurt such as Coyo, or coconut whipped cream. Nutritions facts are for 1 of 4 servings of chia pudding only, without the serving ingredients.
