Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding with Sautéed Apples & Granola
Serves 310 mins prep10 mins cook
This Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding is creamy, high in protein, and full of cozy flavors — but here’s the twist: it’s made with Oikos Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese. That swap gives it an ultra-smooth, rich texture while keeping it packed with protein and gut-friendly probiotics.

cup greek yogurt

Instructions
2 Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the Greek yogurt, apple cider, and protein powder. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to adjust the cider slightly depending on your protein powder — you’re aiming for a pourable, pudding-like base. 4 Mix the Pudding: Pour the mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the pumpkin purée, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and maple syrup. Mix well so the chia seeds are evenly distributed. 6 Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a rich, creamy pudding. 8 Sauté the Apples: In a small skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add diced apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender and caramelized. 10 Assemble: Spoon the chia pudding into jars or bowls, top with warm sautéed apples and granola. Add a drizzle of maple syrup or almond butter if you want extra flavor.View original recipe
