Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder until fully combined.
Ensure Smoothness: Stir thoroughly to achieve a smooth mixture, making sure there are no lumps of peanut butter remaining.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.

Overnight refrigeration improves texture but a minimum of 4 hours can suffice.
Dark chocolate chips add a rich flavor, but nuts or shredded coconut can also be used as toppings.
