📖 Instructions

1. 1. First things first – grab your saucepan! Pour in 1 cup of the milk of your choice (I love using almond milk, but any kind will do).
2. 2. Next, add a hefty pinch of cinnamon – I usually go for about 1/2 a teaspoon, but feel free to go wild. Taste is subjective, after all!
3. 3. Now, carefully slice up your apple. I usually get about 1/2 a medium-sized apple, thinly sliced, to add that perfect sweetness.
4. 4. Add the apple slices to the saucepan along with the milk and cinnamon, and gently heat up the mixture. You want it to be warm, not boiling hot.
5. 5. Ok, here’s where things get interesting. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add 1/4 cup (or less, remember what I said before?) of chia seeds. Stir it all together with a whisk, making sure there are no chia seed clumps.
6. 6. Now the waiting game begins! Pour the mixture into your chosen container (a small bowl works just fine) and cover it. Pop it into the fridge for at least 2 hours, or even overnight if you're really busy. The longer it chills, the thicker and more delightful it gets.
7. 7. Ta-da! Once your Apple Cinnamon Chia Delight is nice and chilled, give it a taste test. Add a little more cinnamon if you think it needs a bit of a kick, or a dash of maple syrup if you're craving some extra sweetness. You are the boss of your breakfast!
8. 8. Top with extra cinnamon and apple slices for an extra gorgeous touch. Dig in and enjoy! It's a healthy and oh-so-delicious way to start your day!
