Notes
- Sweetener: Start with less sweetener and add more as needed after tasting. I tend to add 3 tbsp of honey or 2 tbsp powdered erythritol.
- Consistency Check: If your pudding hasn't set after an hour, give it a good stir and let it sit a little longer.
- For Best Flavor: Let it chill overnight, just like overnight oats. The flavors meld together beautifully with a bit more time.
- Whole Flaxseeds: If all you have on hand is whole flaxseeds, no problem! Just pop them into a coffee grinder or food processor and blend the whole seeds into a fine powder.
- Serving Suggestions: This pudding is versatile! Enjoy it as a dessert, snack, or part of your healthy breakfast.
Storage instructions
- Refrigerate: Keep the flax seed pudding in an airtight container like a mason jar in the fridge.
- Shelf Life: It’s good for up to 4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
- Single Servings: Pour the pudding into individual jars or containers if you prefer grab-and-go convenience.
- Stir Before Serving: The pudding may separate slightly, so give it a good stir before enjoying it again.
