Apple Pie Chia Pudding with Roast Almond Butter

Apple Pie Chia Pudding with Roast Almond Butter

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup white chia seeds
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 3/4 cup almond milk
• 1 Pink Lady apple, grated
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch nutmeg
• Toppings; 1/2 Pink Lady apple, grated 1/2 Pink Lady apple, sliced, almond butter (see below), coconut yoghurt

Almond butter (Optional)

• 3 cups raw almonds
• Pinch salt

Method

• Add chia seeds, milks, spices and grated apple to a medium sized bowl. Whisk together, then set in the fridge overnight or for a minimum of 1 hour.
• In the morning, layer chia pudding into a jar with freshly grated apple, coconut yoghurt and almond butter. Top with extra almond butter and sliced apple and serve immediately.

Optional method (almond butter)

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees C, and line a tray with baking paper.
• Bake almonds for a total of 12-15mins but turning the almonds every 5 minutes. Once roasted (they will be nice and fragrant, and slightly coloured), remove from oven and transfer to a bowl to cool for 20 mins. After that time, place nuts and salt in a food processor and blend for approx. 10 mins, until the nuts release their oils and create a smooth nut butter. Store in a clean, glass jar.
