First Watch Chia Pudding Recipe

5/5 - (52 votes)

Until recently, I had never tried chia pudding, but I had heard about it for quite some time. However, one day my mother ordered chia pudding for breakfast. The taste was just magnificent.  I crave them every morning. It’s just that First Watch is almost an hour away. So, I did some research about chia pudding and its variations. I also tried some but couldn’t really find something that provides the similar taste. 

First Watch Chia Pudding Recipe

One day, a friend of mine told me the recipe which was somehow unique. Basically the granola part! I tried it and holy Jesus that was amazing. So, I’m today sharing the First Watch Chia Pudding Recipe, the authentic one with you guys! 

First Watch Chia Seed Pudding Recipe Ingredients and Instructions:

Our local shops have all the ingredients we need to make this recipe. Additionally, it provides enough calories to serve as a rich breakfast. Here are some quick notes about the ingredients.

Black Chia Seeds: Fiber, omega-3s, lots of protein, essential minerals, and antioxidants are all in chia seeds that is our main ingredient for this recipe.

Vanilla Extract: A vanilla extract is made by soaking vanilla beans in ethyl alcohol and water. However,for our chia pudding this is a vital ingredient. If you don’t have it, you can use maple syrup, honey or vanilla powder instead.

Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a very tasty drink itself. With milk and unsweetened coconut you can make them at home easily. 

Agave Nectar: Agave nectar is basically a syrup that comes from the fluid in blue agave plants. 

How to Make Chia Bowl with Granola: 

Well, I had to research a lot for this recipe but you guys are very lucky. First Watch has now a beautiful cookbook with the AM Superfoods Bowl recipe in it. They sell the cookbook. However, to make it all you need to do is whisk the ingredients except chia seeds. Then add it and keep in the refrigerator for 2 hours. 

Also homemade granola takes this coconut milk chia pudding to a different level. Granola isn’t difficult to make at all! In a few days, you will have a batch of fresh granola to munch on.

1/2 Cup of Black Chia Seeds

1/2 Tsp of Vanilla Extract

Step 4: Now, you have to add chia seeds and mix them well with other ingredients.

Step 5: Cover the mixing bowl with a lid or with a plastic wrap.

Step 6: Put the bowl in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more to set completely. In between refrigerating, stir once.

Step 7: After removing from the refrigerator, stir once and scoop into the bowls.

You can top it with granola, fresh fruits of your desire.

Preparing Granola:

Step 1: At first, you need to set the oven for preheating at the temperature of 300 degrees F.

Step 2: Now, take out a large mixing bowl and add dry ingredients: 3 cups of rolled oats, ½ cup of roasted sunflower seeds, 1 cup of ground flaxseed, ½ cup of almond along with 1 tsp of powder.

Step 3: Mixing finely set the bowl aside.

Step 4: Now, bring out another mixing bowl and pour ½ cup of maple syrup, ¼ cup of brown sugar, ¼ cup of canola oil, 2 tbsp of agave, and 1 tbsp of vanilla extract. Mix them well finely.

Step 5: Now, pour this prepared wet ingredients mixture over the oat mixture. Fold them finely!

Step 6: Now, bring out a cookie sheet and grease it with a non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7: Take a round spoon and scoop the prepared granola in the greased sheet.

Step 8: Very gently spread the layer. The layer should be thin.

Step 9: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven for 18 minutes to 20 minutes. This time can vary depending on the type of oven.

Step 10: You will notice that the edge of granola is pretty golden brown. Let it cool at room temperature.

Step 11: Now, finely shred the granola into the bite size pieces.

You can store this granola for up to 1 week at room temperature and 2 months in the refrigerator. However, make sure you have stored it in an airtight container.
