Heat in 10-second increments until fully melted, then whisk until smooth. If you’re not into using a microwave, check out my stovetop instructions in Notes.

Add Keto Sweetener

Now it’s time to make it sweet! Add keto maple syrup and monkfruit drops to the coconut milk and whisk until well mixed. If you’re not sure about how much to use, follow my range as a guide or use the amount I list in Notes. 😉

Add Chia Seeds

Add the chia seeds to your sweetened coconut mixture and whisk it all together until well incorporated. Now give it a few minutes to set—the chia seeds will thicken the chia pudding mixture.

Whisk

Go ahead and whisk out any clumps that have formed from the chia seeds thickening. Pour your chia pudding mixture into each jar and seal.

  • Keto Maple Syrup: I’ve been testing, eating, then testing, okay fine–they’re all the same thing, but sometimes it feels more like testing than eating if ya know what I mean–keto sweeteners like it’s my job (bc it is duh). And guess what? This is one of the least offensive low carb, keto maple syrups I’ve tried. The flavor blends perfectly and tastily into your keto pudding. Perfecto!
