Pumpkin is an awesomely nutritious food, and pairs so well with sweet and flavorful spices. This recipe combines everything good about pumpkin pie into a indulgent and nutritious dish.
Add pumpkin, milk, spices and sweeter to a bowl. Whisk until everything is incorporated.
Add chia seeds. Continue to whisk together for several minutes until the chia seeds are fully suspended.
Place in fridge for at least 15 minutes, the longer the better. Stir several times while refrigerated to ensure the chia seeds don't settle at the bottom.
Remove from the fridge, pour into a bowl, and top with crystallized ginger and pecans.
Notes
If you want to use a full can (1-¾ cups) of pumpkin you can just double the recipe and the results will be pretty much the same.For a thicker pudding you can add another ½-1 tbsp of chia seeds - mix well.
