Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding

November 3, 2025 Alex Caspero and Whitney English

Jump to Recipe

We share a lot of chia seed pudding recipes as they are such a great way to add in nutrition– chia seeds are packed with protein, iron, calcium, fiber and healthy fats. Especially when paired with vitamin-A rich pumpkin, these pumpkin chia seed pudding cups are so incredibly delicious and a fun, seasonal way to enjoy chia pudding.

Here’s how to make it:

1️⃣ In a blender, combine 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup plant milk of choice, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup. I use my immersion blender to puree everything for ease.

2️⃣ Pour mixture into a mason jar and add 1/4 cup chia seeds.

3️⃣ Stir or shake until chia seeds are evenly distributed.

4️⃣ Pop it in the fridge for at least two hours to gel up.

5️⃣ Enjoy!

We love to serve this with a coconut whipped cream or plain yogurt. I also pack them into these mini jars and pack them for school lunches. These chia pudding cups are so creamy (especially with whipped cream on top) — we hope you try them!
