Peanut Butter & Jelly Chia Seed Pudding Recipe

I recently made this Peanut Butter & Jelly Chia Seed Pudding, and wow—it’s a total game-changer! I love how the creamy peanut butter pairs with the naturally sweet blueberry compote. The pudding sets perfectly after chilling, giving a dessert-like texture that’s still healthy. I can honestly eat this for breakfast, a snack, or even a guilt-free dessert
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: 3

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup wild blueberries – fresh or frozen both work beautifully.
  • 1 tbsp orange juice – enhances sweetness naturally.
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds – helps thicken and adds omega-3 benefits.
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk – keeps it light and dairy-free.
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk – adds creaminess without overpowering.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – optional but deepens flavor.
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup – adjust for your preferred sweetness.
  • 3 tbsp natural salted peanut butter – creamy or crunchy plus more for topping.
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds – gives that signature pudding texture.
  • Fresh blueberries – optional for garnish and extra burst of flavor.

Method
 

  1. Start by warming blueberries with orange juice in a small saucepan. Let them bubble gently and then stir in chia seeds. This creates a natural, thick, and sweet compote.
  2. Blend almond milk, coconut milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Gently stir in chia seeds, keeping their texture intact for that pudding consistency.
  3. Layer the compote at the bottom of your serving jars or bowls. Pour chia pudding over it and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or overnight. Top with extra peanut butter and fresh blueberries before serving.

Notes

  • I like to use fresh wild blueberries—they add the best flavor.
  • I always taste and adjust the maple syrup after blending to ensure perfect sweetness.
  • Stir the pudding once after 10 minutes in the fridge to avoid clumping.
  • Using natural peanut butter gives a richer, less processed flavor.
