Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps of peanut butter remaining.
Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
Add Toppings: Once the pudding has set and thickened, sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly on top for added texture and chocolaty flavor.
Serve: Serve the chia pudding chilled, enjoying its creamy, rich taste reminiscent of a peanut butter cup dessert.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup according to your taste.
Letting the pudding sit overnight yields the best texture, but 4 hours is sufficient if you’re short on time.
You can substitute dark chocolate chips with cacao nibs or chopped nuts for a different texture.
Make sure to stir the mixture well before refrigerating to prevent clumping.
