Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a blender or food processor, add the raspberries, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Pour the raspberry mixture into a medium bowl or a large measuring cup. Stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk vigorously to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer portions to individual jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  5. Before serving, give the pudding a good stir and taste for sweetness. Add more maple syrup if desired.
  6. Top with optional toppings such as toasted almonds, extra raspberries, or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.

Notes

Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If pudding thickens, stir in a splash of milk. Avoid freezing as the texture changes.
