super creamy thick low carb chia pudding
Breakfast

Easy 4-Ingredient Vanilla Chia Pudding Recipe

by Joanna
written by Joanna

This 4-Ingredient Chia pudding is a healthy snack or breakfast that’s very low in carbs and loaded with nutrients, protein, fiber, and fats. It’s a dairy-free recipe made with unsweetened plant-based milk, chia seeds, and sweetener of choice.

easy vanilla chia pudding

This Chia Seed Pudding has a fantastic vanilla flavor that’s perfect for different toppings such as fruits, chocolate, nuts & seeds. Adding toppings makes the pudding satisfying, nutrient-dense, and delicious. It keeps me full for hours!

Watch the short video below to see how easy is to make this creamy chia pudding!

Ingredients for Vanilla Keto Chia Pudding

To start making chia pudding, you’ll need a medium bowl, unsweetened plant-based milk (almond milk, coconut milk, chia milk or any milk you love), a few tablespoons of chia seeds, your sweetener of choice, vanilla extract.

Sometimes I don’t add any sweetener and prefer to sweeten the pudding with toppings such as fresh low carb fruits, sugar-free chocolate chips, or frozen berries.

keto creamy chia pudding with fruits

Here are all the ingredients you’ll need:

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp Erythritol
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

To make thick and creamy pudding and get the perfect texture I like to use 3 tablespoons of chia seeds for every cup of milk.

Coconut milk is naturally sweet, so you don’t have to add too much sweetener. You can use a combo of canned creamy coconut milk (add about 2 heaping tablespoons) and carton coconut milk for a super creamy pudding.

how to make chia pudding

PRO TIP: There’s one trick I want to share with you: using warm milk will hydrate the chia seeds faster! This way you don’t have to wait at least four hours until it is ready. It will be still liquidy, but once the chia absorbs the liquids, it will become very creamy and tasty.

If time isn’t a problem you can make overnight chia pudding by simply combining all the ingredients and refrigerate until the next day for the creamiest keto breakfast.

How to Make Chia Pudding?

  1. When making chia pudding the essential part is incorporating the seeds into the milk. You should do this step twice: once in the beginning and once after 10 minutes. This will ensure that your pudding has no clumps and it’s creamy.
  2. Finally, transfer the chia pudding into individual servings small jars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. It should be enough for the chia seeds to absorb the milk and the sweetener.

Toppings for Vegan Chia Pudding

  • Fresh Berries
  • Mint Leaves
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Shredded Coconut

How to Make Smooth Chia Pudding

If you’re not a fan of whole chia seeds and find the texture too slimy, I have a solution! 

GRIND THE SEEDS! Yes, you heard, right. To make the creamiest chia pudding, use a food processor to turn the chia seeds into a powder. Then add the chia flour to the milk and combine it with the rest of the ingredients. 

This fine chia powder has many uses as it’s a great thickening agent. You have to try my raspberry chia jam and serve with 90 seconds bread!

How to Store Chia Pudding?

I usually love to prep it at night and enjoy it in the morning. It’s best to consume it within 2 days for the best flavor and freshness.

In our house, everyone loves chia pudding, so it never lasts for more than one day, but I suggest making the number of servings you plan on eating over 2 or 3 days.

Is Chia Pudding Keto?

If you are wondering if you chia pudding is keto, the answer is YES!

Not only that chia seeds are a superfood, but they are recommended to eat in a keto diet because they are high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

These tiny seeds are packed with tons of nutrients: Calcium, Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorus. They also contain zinc, vitamin B3 (niacin), potassium, vitamin B1 (thiamine), and vitamin B2.

Carbs in Keto Chia Pudding

Look at these fantastic macros: 1 oz (2 tablespoons) of chia seed contains:

  • Calories: 138 kcal
  • Fiber: 10 grams
  • Protein: 5 gram
  • Fat: 9 grams (5 grams are Omega-3s -> the stuff that’s good for you!)

Foolproof Fluffy & Thick Keto Pancakes with Coconut Flour Recipe

Are you bored with the classic keto breakfast? Well, the keto diet is more than bacon, eggs, and avocado which I love.

These Keto Pancakes are the perfect breakfast for when you want something different, but still filling and delicious. I created the only low carb pancake recipe you’ll ever need.

You’ll also love my keto granola recipe!

These flourless pancakes got great feedback from all my family members, and it’s 100% child approved.

Coconut Flour Keto Pancakes Ingredients

I’m a huge fan of coconut flour since it’s so low in carbs, it’s packed with fiber, flavor and it’s way cheaper than almond flour. I use coconut flour to drastically reduce the carbs in keto desserts and baked goods.

Here are all the necessary ingredients

  • eggs
  • coconut flour
  • heavy whipping cream or canned coconut milk*
  • butter or coconut oil*
  • cream cheese or coconut cream*
  • vanilla extract
  • cinnamon
  • Erythritol, Xylitol or Honey*
  • baking powder
  • lemon zest, optional but very tasty’

*substitutions for the paleo pancakes version

How to Make Coconut Flour Pancakes?

It’s pretty easy to make these keto pancakes. If you have made classic pancakes in the past, you’ll have no problem cooking these coconut flour beauties. One thing to keep in mind is to stick with the measurements I give you.

Coconut flour is different than wheat flour since it’s gluten-free and low in carbs.

  1. To start making the pancakes you’ll need to combine the eggs and the wet ingredients in a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer to make the process easier. A whisk does the job too.
  2. After a few minutes add coconut flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and keep mixing until you get a perfect coconut flour pancakes batter.
  3. To cook low carb coconut flour pancakes you’ll need a non-stick pan over medium heat. Melt a cube of butter and pour 1/4 pancake batter. Let the pancake cook on each side and continue until there’s no pancake batter left.
  4. Now, that you’ve made coconut flour pancakes keto, it’s time to devour them! Serve with plenty of berries and sugar-free maple syrup (my favorite!).

How many carbs are in the keto pancakes?

This recipe makes 3 servings of 2 keto pancakes. Each serving has 5g net carbs.

Is Coconut Flour Keto Friendly?

Yes, coconut flour is perfect for a ketogenic diet, as it’s very low in carbs and high in fiber. It’s my favorite low carb replacement for flour.

How many carbs are in coconut flour? Each tablespoon of coconut flour has 60 calories, 4g carbohydrates, 3g dietary fiber, so that’s a total of 1g net carbs.

NET CARBS = TOTAL CARBODYDRATES – FIBER – SUGAR ALCOHOLS (ERYTHRITOL, XYLITOL)

Can I Replace Coconut Flour with Almond Flour?

In this particular recipe trying to replace the coconut flour with almond flour will make pancakes completely different in macros and texture.

However, you can use almond flour instead, but you’ll have to add about 1 cup almond flour.

How to Store Keto Pancakes 

These low carb pancakes are best served fresh, straight out of the stove. 

I made 6 pancakes, meaning 2 servings that are enough for 3 people or perfect to enjoy during the week. 

If I make a batch of the gluten-free pancakes over the weekend, I store the rest of the pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge. They make the perfect keto breakfast for the next week. 

Keto Pancakes with coconut flour are freezer-friendly, so you can double or triple this recipe and make more pancakes. They freeze just like traditional pancakes and are great to have on hand. 

Are These Paleo Pancakes?

The best thing about this recipe is that they are super low carb, keto, and paleo-friendly, with only a few ingredients switches.

All the ingredients are simple and low carb that are in my pantry almost every time. For a paleo pancakes version, substitute the dairy product to non-dairy alternatives such as coconut cream or coconut oil.

You can use coconut sugar or maple syrup instead of Erythritol if you aren’t a fan of keto sweeteners.

The rest of the process of making gluten-free pancakes remains the same and takes only a few minutes.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour

  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 tsp  vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp  cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp  Erythritol
  • 1 tsp  baking powder
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional

  • Add coconut flour, baking powder, and cinnamon over the egg mixture. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are incorporated.

  • Heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat and melt a teaspoon of butter. Pour about 1/4 cup pancake batter onto the pan.
  • Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side or until bubbles start to form, and the edges are golden. You can cover the pan while the pancakes are cooking to ensure it’s evenly cooked.
  • Repeat with all keto pancake batter. Serve immediately with sugar-free syrup & butter, sugar-free chia jam, fresh berries or peanut butter! Enjoy!
