Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding

This pumpkin pie chia pudding brings you all the flavors of pumpkin pie without all of the work. The pumpkin pudding layer tastes just like pumpkin pie, the granola topping mimics the crust, and the vanilla chia pudding is just like the whipped cream topping!

I’m declaring the first leaf has fallen, and it’s time for all things Autumn, which means pumpkin! The pumpkin pie layer, made with pumpkin puree, tastes just like pumpkin pie filling. Next is the vanilla chia pudding. If you’ve never had chia pudding, it’s very similar to tapioca pudding in terms of texture. The bottom layer is a cinnamon and raisin granola which mimics the crust of a homemade pumpkin pie. The granola layers is my homemade cinnamon and raisin granola. Of course, you can either use this granola or your own, whichever you prefer.
