    Vanilla Chia Pudding Pie with Almond Crust ~ Lauren Kelly Nutrition #vegan #glutenfree #dairyfreePin

    I love chia pudding and I especially love that it's healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. It's safe for people with allergies or those who live a healthy lifestyle. I used Organic Unsweetened Silk Soy Milk which is naturally high in protein and doesn't cause the bloating and discomfort that dairy milk may cause. You can also try the Vanilla Silk Soy Milk in the pie, I bet it would be delicious!

    This pie is a perfect example of how healthy, clean desserts can be made healthy. I love adding Silk Soy Milk because it is packed with protein. It is a a wonderful addition to smoothies, chia puddings, overnight oats and all of your favorite recipes.

    • 3 tablespoons water
    • 1 ¾ cup almond flour
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 4 tablespoons coconut oil

    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 4 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup or same amount of liquid monk fruit for sugar free option
    • fruit of your choice for topping I used strawberries, kiwis and blueberries

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • In a small bowl, mix together the tablespoon of flax and water until thoroughly combined. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
    • Place the almond flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, coconut oil, maple syrup, flax and water mixture, and vanilla in a food processor and pulse until a ball of dough forms.
    • Using the palms of your hands, press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan. Spread into a thin layer thoughout the sides and bottom. Bake for 20- 25 minutes until crust is even golden brown color.
    • Allow crust to cool completely.
    • Make the pudding by whisking the chia seeds, soy milk, vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Continue to thoroughly mix until there are no clumps. If the mixture seems to runny, add a but more chia seeds to thicken.
    • Allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least a few hours or even overnight to thicken even more.
    • Place pudding into pie crust.
    • Transfer the pie to a freezer until the pudding has completely firmed to make it easier to slice.
    • Next, cut 8 even slices. Return once more to the refrigerator to allow the pudding to set. Top with sliced fruit. ENJOY!

    And here is a picture of the chia pudding pie minus any of the fruit. Now I said this was amazing, I didn't say it was pretty. Chia seeds might not be the best looking seeds, but man they are probably the healthiest!

    I used fresh sliced strawberries, kiwi and blueberries, but feel free to use whatever fruit you like (and whatever is in season!) Look how pretty it turned out?

      Yum. An excellent idea is to use your homemeade almond milk and left over almond flour with this recipe. I just had the pudding and it was great. Only made tartlets with this recipe as an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

      I, absolutely, love this idea! I'm a huge fan of chia seeds but never thought to try them in a pie.

      I've become somewhat addicted to chia pudding these last few months, but I love the pie idea!! And the fruit on top brings in our rainbow for the day. Nice!

      I tried to leave a comment through Tap Influence but it never lets me! Anyhoo, this looks amazing and a great way to have a sweet treat when you have dietary restrictions.
