If you are looking for a breakfast that feels like a treat, this Berry Chia Seed Pudding Parfait tastes like dessert but fuels your day — creamy, fruity, and gorgeous in layers of raspberry, vanilla, and blueberry.
In a mixing glass or bowl, combine the oat milk, 2-3 tbsp maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk to evenly distribute.
Pour 2/3 of the mixture in a blender with the raspberries. Leave ¾ cup of mixture plain vanilla.
Blend the raspberry mixture on medium speed until smooth.
Pour the raspberry mixture into a medium bowl. Sprinkle over 4 tbsp/46g chia seeds. Stir to distribute.
Add the remaining 3 tbsp chia seeds to the vanilla mixture. Stir to distribute.
Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
In a saucepan combine the blueberries and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly until the blueberries burst and mixture thickens slightly. Compote does not need to be smooth. Allow to cool slight before assembling.
Once chia mixtures has started to thicken, give the mixtures another stir.
Assemble the servings, layering first blueberry puree, then raspberry chia, then vanilla chia to create an ombre effect.
Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve with fresh fruit, granola, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
