Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Square baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Knife or pizza cutter
Ingredients
- 1 cup chia seeds
- 4 cups almond milk
- 3 tbsp matcha powder
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup granola for topping
Instructions
- In a big bowl, whisk almond milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. The mix turns a rich green. Whisk until smooth. Tip: Sift the matcha to avoid clumps.
- Stir in the chia seeds slowly. Make sure they’re coated evenly. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again. This stops clumping. The seeds soak up liquid, creating a gel-like texture.
- Pour the mix into a square pan lined with parchment paper. Spread it out evenly. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours. Overnight works best. You’ll see it thicken nicely.
- Once set, sprinkle granola on top. Press lightly so it sticks. Cut into bars or squares. Each piece should have creamy pudding and crunchy topping.
