I just love this pudding and it’s crunchy cinnamon topping! It’s like having your breakfast oats, but without the heaviness of grains. Serve as a warm breakfast with a sprinkle of nuts or seeds a couple pieces of dried fruit, and a tall glass of almond milk!
Ingredients
Pudding
1 cup non-dairy milk – I used unsweetened almond milk
Mix milk, water, maple syrup, chia, arrowroot, cinnamon and salt at the bottom of your 3 quart Crock-Pot.
Layer sliced apples over top and do not combine.
Mix the crumble topping together in a large bowl. Using your hands, spread it over top of the apples. Cook on low for 4 hours, or high for 2 hours (I like the results of the lower setting, but either one works).
Turn off heat, unplug, and let sit, covered, for one hour.
Top with raisins and walnuts and enjoy!
Notes
If you don’t have arrowroot, no problem. I used it to thicken the pudding slightly so you could also probably use corn starch (non-paleo), potato starch (non-paleo), or tapioca starch.
Try adding your favorite protein powder to the mix to increase the protein content if required.
