Ingredients

½ cup chia seeds
1 ½ cups vanilla plant-based milk
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups frozen strawberries
3 tablespoons sugar
½ cup peanut butter

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the chia seeds, plant milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the frozen strawberries and sugar. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the strawberries as they soften. Remove from heat and set aside to cool..
Once the chia pudding has set, melt the peanut butter in the microwave for 45 seconds. If still stiff, continue microwaving in 15-second increments until softened. Stir well.
Divide the chia pudding evenly into four small jars or bowls. Add a layer of melted peanut butter, followed by the strawberry compote.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

Notes

To avoid clumpy chia pudding, Stir it, leave it for 5-10 minutes, and stir again before leaving it to fully thicken. Don’t skip the second stir.
For thinner/thicker chia pudding: Adjust the liquid to chia seed ratio.
For a ‘smoother’ pudding: Use ground chia seeds OR blend it into a pudding-like texture.
Don’t rush it: Let the vegan chia pudding set for at least 2 hours, though overnight is best for the optimal texture.
Adding the PB: You can mix the peanut butter into the chia pudding, or layer the three elements separately.
