🌱 Ingredients & Notes

Here is everything you need for this recipe:

• Flaxseeds - The key ingredient for this recipe, giving it the thick, pudding-like consistency. You can purchase pre-ground flaxseeds from many grocery stores, and you can also use whole seeds and grind them into flax meal yourself. Make sure they are finely ground for the best results; you can use a food processor or coffee grinder if needed.
• Almond Flour - Adds a subtle nuttier flavor and enhances the creamy texture. Look for finely ground almond flour for a smoother pudding.
• Maple Syrup - A natural sweetener that balances the nutty flavor of the flax seeds. Use pure maple syrup for the best taste.
• Vanilla Paste - Provides a rich vanilla flavor. If you don’t have paste, you can substitute with vanilla extract, but the paste gives a deeper flavor.
• Plant Milk - Acts as the liquid base for the flax pudding. Choose from almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or any plant-based milk you prefer. For a creamier texture, use a milk with a higher fat content, like coconut milk.

For Serving:

• Stewed Berries - Adds a fruity, naturally sweet topping to the pudding. You can use fresh or frozen berries, stewed gently in a bit of water.
• Crunchy Almonds - Provides a satisfying crunch. Lightly toast them for extra flavor if they aren’t pre-toasted.
