    At only 1 net carb per tablespoon, chia seeds make the perfect morning breakfast treat when mixed with yummy flavors like the almond and cinnamon in this keto chia pudding recipe!

    I have recently become obsessed with Keto Chia Pudding!  What is chia pudding you ask?  well, when you soak chia seeds in a liquid, they absorb that liquid and become soft...like a pudding!  They really are so versatile and they take on any flavor you put them in.

    At only 1 net carb per tablespoon, chia seeds make the perfect morning breakfast treat when mixed with yummy flavors.  I have also been obsessed with warm and yummy cinnamon so that's why I thought this keto chia pudding with almond and cinnamon would make a perfect quick breakfast!

    I first read about chia pudding from one of my blogger inspirations, Paleomg.  I have been following her blog for years and when she made chocolate chia pudding years ago, I knew I had to try it...and make it keto!

    For this keto chia pudding I used:

    • chia seeds
    • unsweetened almond milk
    • cinnamon
    • almond butter
    • and liquid stevia

    This super easy breakfast (or anytime snack, let's be honest) needs to be made at least 3 hours ahead of time to give the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid.  I like to put some in the fridge the night before.  About 1 hour after you place it in the fridge, just pull it out and give it a quick stir because the chia seeds like to sink to the bottom.  In the morning, give it another stir and try not to eat the whole bowl!

      OMG!!! I bought 3 bags of Chia seeds on sale (about $2.50 each bag) and I saw this recipe and decided to try it out. It was DELICIOUS!!! I had everything except I didn't have almond butter so I used peanut butter. And I used powder stevia and it worked out good! It was so good! Today, I'm buying mason jars so I can have pudding for the next days!

      Can you substitute granular stevia for liquid stevia?

          Would it be equal ratio? Still 1/4th tsp?

      This tastes awesome! The almond butter really adds a rich, creaminess. I ate mine hot. It reminds me of Quaker’s maple brown sugar instant oats.

          When eating warm, at what point does it get heated?

        • jenniferbanz says

          February 27, 2019 at 11:32 am

          I would wait until it has sat for at least 4 hours

      Can you substitute pb2 or powder almond butter for the almond butter.
