Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Ground Flaxseed
  • 1 ½ cups Plant based milk I used almond
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions
 

  • If you are using whole flax, grind it by using a coffee grinder or highspeed blender. It should look like soft crumbs when it is fully grinded.*
  • Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix until they are fully combined. It will appear soupy and loose.
    (I make mine directly in the glass storage container so I can cover it and place it right in the fridge)
  • Securely cover the mixture with a lid or cling wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. It will become jelly-like and creamy in texture.
  • Remove from the container and add any toppings you like!** I personally add a layer of yogurt then fruit.
  • This pudding will stay fresh for up to 4 days covered in the fridge.

Notes

*Flaxseed will expand once it is grounded, so grind approx. ½ - ¾ cup of flaxseed to yield 1 cups of ground flaxseed (always be sure to measure the ground flax though, this is not exact).
Substitutions:
You can swap stevia, honey or sugar at 1-1 ratio for maple syrup. 
Cinnamon is optional, but highly recommended. 
Storage:
This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Make it in the beginning of the week, and it will store well for up to 4 days. Always store it in an airtight container and place it in the fridge. I do not recommend freezing it.
Flaxseed pudding is typically enjoyed cold, however you can eat it warm if preferred. To warm, simply microwave in 30 second bursts until warmed through.
**Toppings:
There are tons of ways to customize the flavor of your flaxseed pudding. Here are a few topping ideas to inspire you, but feel free to add your own combinations!
  • Cinnamon Apple - add chopped apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, chopped walnuts, raisins.
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter - add peanut butter, crushed peanuts, and chocolate chips.
  • Biscoff Cookie - add biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar and crushed up Biscoff Butter Cookies.
  • Strawberries and Cream - add quartered strawberries, vanilla, maple syrup, and yogurt or coconut whip.
  • Peanut Butter Banana - add banana slices, chopped walnuts, and peanut butter.
  • Chocolate Coconut - add chocolate chips, shredded coconut, maple syrup, and almonds.
  • Blueberry Pie - add blueberries, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and yogurt or coconut whip.
  • Chocolate Pecan Cherry - add pitted cherries, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs, maple syrup, and pecans.
