Ingredients
Scale
Peach Compote
- 2 ripe large peaches, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or 2 tbsp brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- Juice and zest of half a lemon
- Pinch of kosher salt
Chia Pudding Base
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plain plant-based yogurt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk or pea milk
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
Almond Oat Crumble
- 3 tbsp gluten-free rolled oats
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 3 soft medjool dates
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Sauté Peaches: To a sauté pan over medium low heat, add the peaches, brown sugar or maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, lemon zest and juice, cardamom, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine, then cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the peaches have softened and the juices have thickened slightly, creating a flavorful compote.
- Blend Pudding Mixture: Add about a cup of the cooked peaches to a blender along with the plant-based yogurt, soy or pea milk, and salt. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, combining the lush peach flavor into the pudding base.
- Mix Chia Pudding: Pour the blended mixture into a resealable container, then add the chia seeds. Stir thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed without clumps. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the pudding to thicken and gel perfectly.
- Prepare Almond Oat Crumble: In a mini food processor, blend the rolled oats on high until broken down into a chunky flour. Add the almond flour, medjool dates, vanilla bean paste, and a generous pinch of salt. Pulse until a fine crumb with some texture forms, mimicking a crumble topping.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the chilled chia pudding into serving glasses or bowls. Pinch the almond oat crumble together to form bigger clumps, then sprinkle generously on top. Enjoy a refreshing and healthy peach cobbler inspired chia pudding.
Notes
- The maple syrup or brown sugar can be adjusted or substituted depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor in the compote.
- Overnight refrigeration is essential to allow chia seeds to fully gel and achieve the correct pudding texture.
- The almond oat crumble can be stored separately in an airtight container to keep its crunch until serving.
- This recipe is plant-based, gluten-free, and naturally dairy-free.
