Coconut Chia Pudding

Super Grains and Seeds

About

My idea of fun is taking a superfood and making dessert from it
so that my family can have treats that I feel good about. This was
the reason why I first developed my baking mixes and the reason
why I always have guilt-free desserts in my kitchen. My husband
had a white rice pudding phase and I had to figure out a way to
satisfy this craving, so I swapped out the white rice for chia seeds,
and he hasn’t asked for rice pudding since! Cashew butter gives this
dessert a subtle warmth, but I’ve done this with peanut butter and
it’s just as delicious!
