Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 2 tablespoons Pecans, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 pinch Salt

Step 1

Stir the mixture continuously over medium-low heat for about 4-5 minutes, or until it thickens and becomes oatmeal-like in consistency. The chia seeds and flaxseed will absorb the liquid and create a creamy texture.

Step 5

Top with additional chopped pecans and sliced banana, if desired, for extra texture and sweetness.
