Instructions

Combine Liquids: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the brewed coffee and almond milk. Stir to ensure they are well mixed.
Add Chia Seeds: Add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture. Stir thoroughly to prevent any clumps from forming.
Mix Flavorings: Mix in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. If you’re adding the optional cocoa powder for a mocha flavor, incorporate that as well.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and expanded, creating a pudding-like consistency.
Stir Again: Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir to ensure even distribution of seeds.
Serve: Portion the pudding into serving bowls or glasses.
Add Toppings: Top the pudding with your choice of toppings, such as whipped cream, shaved chocolate, berries, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy: Enjoy your coffee chia seed pudding as a delicious breakfast or satisfying snack.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your taste.
For a vegan option, ensure your milk and toppings are plant-based.
You can prepare the pudding a day in advance to save time in the morning.
Experiment with different toppings like coconut flakes or granola for variety.
Make sure to stir the pudding after refrigeration as chia seeds tend to settle.
