Step 1: Prepare the Chia Pudding

1. In a medium mixing bowl or jar, add:

   • 1/2 cup chia seeds

   • 2 cups almond milk

   • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

   • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

   • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

   • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

   • A pinch of salt

2. Whisk everything together thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and don’t clump.

3. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps forming.

4. Cover the bowl or transfer to individual jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until it thickens into a pudding consistency.

Step 2: Make the Sticky Bun Swirl

While the pudding sets, prepare your sticky bun swirl.

1. In a small bowl, combine:

   • 2 tablespoons almond butter

   • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

   • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil

   • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

   • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2. Stir until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the chopped pecans and fold them into the swirl mixture.

4. Store in the fridge until ready to use. The mixture may firm up slightly, which is perfect for layering.
