Flax Seed Pudding
Flax pudding is thick, creamy and super filling. This healthy flaxseed pudding is naturally sweetened and packed with fiber, protein and Omega-3's. Great for meal prep, this ground flax pudding is budget friendly and ready in just 5 minutes. This recipe is vegan, gluten free, dairy free and can be made Whole30 and low carb friendly.
In a bowl or blender, add the ground flax, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Stir well or blend on high for 30 seconds.
If you use a blender, serve immediately with your favorite toppings. If you don't use the blender, allow the flax pudding to rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour to thicken.
Equipment
Immersion Blender or Blender optional
Notes
Top tips
I found that blending the pudding gives it the best texture and also allows the pudding to be ready in just 5 minutes.
If you don’t plan on blending the pudding because you are going to let it sit in the fridge, I recommend running the flax seeds (whole or ground) through the blender or coffee grinder to get them as ground as possible. This helps create the best texture. You can
Golden flaxseeds have the best flavor, they are nutty and are more mild in flavor. Often you can only find golden flaxseeds in their whole form because they can go rancid so quickly once ground. If you choose to use golden flaxseeds, grind them up then store the ground flaxseeds in the freezer in a well-sealed container.
When flaxseeds go rancid, they get a very bitter almost fishy taste. Sometimes they will smell fine but taste terrible. I recommend storing flax seeds (whole or ground) in a well sealed container in the freezer as soon as you bring them home from the store to avoid them going rancid.
To thin out the pudding, add milk, 1-2 tablespoons at a time. If you find that the pudding isn't thick enough, let it sit longer or add an additional 1/2 tablespoon ground flax. I find that blending the pudding helps to thicken it immediately.
