Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding is a delicious and healthy seasonal treat for both breakfast and dessert. You can layer it with fruit in the morning. Or you can top it with coconut whipped cream and chocolate chips in the evening. Which way will you choose? No matter how you serve it, Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding is sure to be a hit.
You may have noticed that I’m a big fan of chia seed pudding.
For example, I like it simply flavored and topped with tropical fruit in Green Chia Pudding.
And I also enjoy it with my favorite tea in Matcha Green Tea Chia Pudding.
It’s really easy to make different flavors.
All you need to do is combine chia seeds with a liquid, stir well, then let it set up in the refrigerator for an hour or overnight.
Therefore, I decided to make this pumpkin pie flavor to celebrate the seasonal produce.
Moreover, it works well for both breakfast and dessert, depending on what toppings you add.
This recipe is for one serving. However, you can easily make as many servings as you like at the same time.
But before we get started, here’s a shopping list of the ingredients we will need with affiliate links for your convenience:
- Medjool dates
- Organic pumpkin puree (not to be confused with pumpkin pie filling)
- Organic unsweetened soy milk (or your favorite unsweetened non-dairy milk)
- Cinnamon
- Ginger
- Ground cloves
- Chia seeds
- Your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, coconut whipped cream, or Mini chocolate chips
Now we’re ready to make Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding!
Will you top it with fruit?
Or enjoy it with coconut whip and chocolate chips?
How will you serve Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding, for breakfast or for dessert?

This looks wonderful! I can have pumpkin pie all month long without getting fat. Going to try this one out. Thank you for sharing 🙂

I like the way you think, Melissa! I have never been a fan of pie crust, so I would much rather have this chia pudding. 🙂

This sounds so good! I love pumpkin pie, but not the calories; this is the perfect compromise.
Amy
I agree! All the calories are in the crust. Who needs that? 🙂

What a fun fall breakfast! I’m always surprised at the filling nature of chia seed pudding. You wouldn’t think it would be so substantive!
Amy
Thanks Cadry! I had it a couple of times this week, and it kept me full longer than my usual smoothie.

Just discovered this. I still have a can of pumpkin so I’ll be giving it a try. I’ll probably make it to have for dessert bc I usually have oatmeal for breakfast. Maybe I’ll try to put some pumpkin in my oatmeal to help use up the can. Or look for a gf mug cake/muffin.
Amy
I hope you enjoy it! I try to keep some cans of pumpkin on hand to use during the year, too.
