ADDITIONS OF THIS PUDDING:
Chocolate flax pudding:
- Pour one or two tablespoons of raw cacao powder into the pudding. Additionally, this will increase the bitterness, so you will need to modify the amount of sugar you use. Add chocolate chips as well.
Tropical flax seed:
- Instead of plant-based milk, you can use canned coconut milk to prepare the pudding, which is similar to pineapple chia parfait. When serving, top with shredded coconut and sliced pineapple.
No-added sweetener pudding:
- For natural sweetness, replace the maple syrup with half a mashed banana. Add the mashed banana to the pudding before serving. The mashed or blended Medjool dates work well.
Spices:
- Incorporate warm spices like ground cardamom, nutmeg, pumpkin spice mix, and cinnamon.
Granola:
- Sprinkle granola as an upper coating over the pudding for more grit and taste.
Caramel sauce:
- Cover the pudding with homemade or ready-made caramel sauce to make the pudding sweet.
