A fresh and effortless overnight peach chia pudding with toasted coconut that offers a creamy texture and a nutty crunch, perfect for a wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (almond, coconut, or dairy milk)
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (about 20 g) unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the coconut: Place 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 cup (240 ml) milk, 1/2 cup (120 g) Greek yogurt, 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute until well combined and chia seeds start to disperse evenly.
  3. Add peaches: Peel and dice 2 ripe peaches into small cubes (about 1/2 inch pieces). Gently fold the peaches and 1 teaspoon lemon juice (if using) into the chia mixture.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Transfer the mixture to individual serving jars or a larger container with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, until thickened to a creamy pudding-like texture.
  5. Finish and serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes on top for a crunchy contrast. Stir gently if needed to loosen the pudding. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

Toast coconut slowly over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. If pudding is too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Lemon juice is optional but brightens the flavor and keeps peaches fresh. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
