Let me set the stage for you. 

It’s a Sunday morning, and you’ve accidentally hit the snooze button on your alarm a few too many times. You stumble out of bed and slowly gather your bearings. That’s when it hits you.

It’s not just any Sunday morning, it’s Mother’s Day. And you were supposed to make a dessert for today’s brunch. To make matters worse, you only have a few hours until brunch and you still have to shower, get ready, grab the flowers, and sign the card.

Well, that’s not a lot of time to make that dessert, huh? The way I see it, there’s a few approaches you can take. Let’s take a look at those scenarios:

Scenario 1: Grab a store bought cake at the store. Solid move. Super tasty and saves you time. Although it will require another trip to the store. And we all know how busy that bakery section will be on Mother’s Day. Oy.

Scenario 2: You remember seeing this awesome recipe for chia seed pudding with blackberry chia compote. You spend less than 10 minutes whipping it together, put it in the fridge to chill throughout brunch, and voilà! fancy schmancy dessert on the table.

Your mom loves it, of course, because it uses chia seeds which are all the rage in the past few years. Not to mention this creamy pudding is also low in sugar, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. She also loves the mix of the blackberry chia compote in there, because that’s what makes it luxurious and impressive.

No one will ever know this took you ten minutes to whip up either and think you slaved in the kitchen making this little gem of a dessert. Honestly, I’d say this easy chia seed pudding with blackberry chia compote should land you favorite child status. Or at least favorite middle child status as my mom calls me. (I’m the only middle child. Womp womp.)

So I don’t know about you guys, but I think Scenario 2 is the way to go. Chia seed pudding with blackberry chia compote, anyone?

Ingredients

For the Pudding

• ▢ 1 cup almond milk
• ▢ 1/3 cup chia seeds
• ▢ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• ▢ 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• ▢ 1 tbsp pure maple syrup

For the Compote

• ▢ 1 cup blackberries
• ▢ 1 tbsp chia seeds
• ▢ 1/4 cup water
• ▢ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• ▢ 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• ▢ 1 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

• Start by making the pudding. In a medium sized container with a lid, combine almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon and sweetener.
• Close the lid tight. Shake the container vigorously until the almond milk and chia seeds are combined.
• Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, at minimum, until you have reached pudding like consistency.
• Stir before serving.
• To make the blackberry chia compote, combine blackberries, water, cinnamon and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Stir the blackberries until they begin to boil. Lower the heat, and lightly mash the blackberries until smaller clumps.
• Stir the chia seeds into the mixture until it is thick.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To assemble, alternate scooping the chia seed pudding and the blackberry chia compote into a cup and top with a fresh blackberry.

Notes

A mason jar works really well for the chia pudding recipe. If you don't have one, any tupperware container with a lid works.
Store chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
