Why You’ll Love This Gingerbread Latte Chia Pudding

Why You’ll Keep Coming Back to This Recipe
How to Customize It
Turn it into dessert: Top with coconut whipped cream and a drizzle of molasses.
No caffeine? Use decaf espresso or just skip it. It’s still amazing.
Want it thicker? Add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
Go creamy AF: Use canned light coconut milk instead of almond milk.
Recipe Breakdown
You’re mixing almond milk, chia seeds, and a hit of espresso with molasses and maple syrup for that deep, gingerbread sweetness. Then come the spices — ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove — all doing their anti-inflammatory magic while making your kitchen smell insane.
If you don’t have them already, I highly recommend grabbing some mason jars with lids. This recipe make two servings which fits perfectly into a 16 oz mason jar, but I really like to split this recipe into two 10 oz mason jars with lids, perfect for grabbing on the go. They even come with a spoon!
Why This Recipe Is Gut-Friendly
Chia seeds are gut superheroes — high in soluble fiber to feed the good bacteria and keep digestion smooth. Ginger and cinnamon both help reduce bloating and inflammation, while molasses adds minerals like iron and magnesium that support gut function.

2 tbsp Greek yogurt (plain)
Pinch of sea salt
Toppings: Whipped cream, sprinkle of cinnamon or espresso powder, crumbled gingersnaps, or drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk milk, coffee, molasses, maple syrup, vanilla, almond butter, yogurt and spices until smooth

- Before servings, stir again, taste, and adjust sweetness, if needed. Add toppings, enjoy!
Notes
- Tips for Success
Don’t skip the salt — it brings out all the warm flavors.
If it tastes too strong before chilling, chill first. The flavors mellow overnight.
Use a mason jar with a lid so you can shake it instead of stirring.
Great make-ahead breakfast or cozy snack for busy holiday mornings. - Storage Tips
Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. The flavor deepens as it sits — so yeah, it’s even better the next day.
If you’re the kind of person who cranks up Mariah Carey in November, this one’s for you. Make a batch, grab a spoon, and thank me later.
