Instructions
📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted coconut oil, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, making an even layer on the bottom and slightly up the sides. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Make the Blueberry Chia Filling
In a small saucepan, heat blueberries and maple syrup over medium heat until they soften and release juice (5–7 minutes). Mash slightly for a smoother texture.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, and yogurt. Stir in the blueberry mixture. Mix well to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
Pour the blueberry chia pudding over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to thicken and set the pie.
Step 4: Add Toppings
Before serving, top with fresh blueberries, mint leaves, or toasted coconut flakes for extra flavor and presentation.
