Equipment

  • Mixing bowls medium and large
  • whisk or spoon
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Plastic wrap or lid
  • Cookie sheet for granola
  • Oven mitts
  • Airtight containers for storage

Ingredients

  • ½ cup black chia seeds
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cup canned coconut milk
  • ¼ cup agave nectar
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt

Instructions

Preparing the Pudding:

  • Grab a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Add 2 cups of canned coconut milk, ½ tsp of vanilla extract, ¼ cup of agave nectar, and ½ tsp of kosher salt.
  • Whisk together until everything is combined and smooth.
  • Stir in ½ cup of black chia seeds and mix well.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Stir once mid-way through for even texture.
  • Once thickened, give it another stir and spoon into bowls.
  • Top with fresh fruit and homemade granola (see below!) for the full First Watch experience.

Preparing the Granola:

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix 3 cups of rolled oats, ½ cup of roasted sunflower seeds, 1 cup of ground flaxseed, and 1 tsp of cinnamon.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk ½ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup canola oil, 2 tbsp agave nectar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the dry and fold together until evenly coated.
  • Spread the granola on a greased cookie sheet in a thin, even layer.
  • Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
  • Let it cool completely, then break into crunchy bite-sized pieces.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week (room temp) or 2 months (refrigerated).

Tips

  • Stir Twice: For a smoother texture, stir once after 30 minutes of chilling, then again before serving.
  • Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: It makes the pudding creamier and more satisfying.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to add more agave or maple syrup to taste.
  • Go Wild with Toppings: Try berries, sliced bananas, coconut flakes, or even dark chocolate chips!
