Most people don’t get enough dietary fiber in their daily fare (1). Try adding this fiber-rich breakfast to your repertoire, and savor the maple and raspberry flavors while you tuck into a healthy breakfast.

RD Tip: Grinding flaxseeds helps the body better absorb nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and phytochemicals called lignans (2). This recipe has both whole and ground flaxseeds, giving you the health benefits of flaxseeds as well as a satisfying crunch.

Raspberry Chia Pudding with Almond Milk and Flax Crisps

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (366g) reduced fat milk
• 1/2 cup (84g) chia seeds
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, divided
• 1 1.25-oz package freeze dried raspberries
• 1/4 cup (42g) whole flaxseeds
• 1/4 cup (28g) ground flaxseeds
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 large egg white
• 1 cup (150g) fresh raspberries

Directions

The night before, in a 2–3 cup (480–720ml) storage container, combine the almond milk, chia seeds and 1 tbsp maple syrup and stir vigorously for a few seconds. In a blender or food processor, blitz the freeze-dried raspberries into a fine powder. Add the raspberry powder to the chia seed mixture and stir to combine. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and reserve. In a medium bowl, combine the whole and ground flaxseeds and cinnamon, whisking to mix. Add 1 tbsp maple syrup, egg white, 2 tsp water and stir thoroughly. Let stand for 2–3 minutes. It will thicken slightly. Spread the mixture on the parchment paper to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Bake for 15–17 minutes, until dry and crisped. It will become firmer as it cools.

Cool on a rack and break into bite-sized pieces.

Serve pudding, topped with raspberries and crisps.
