One of my favorite breakfasts growing up was oatmeal.
Oddly, the mushy, lumpy texture was one of the things that endeared me to it (I know, I’m weird).
So when I quit eating oatmeal, that texture (or lack of texture) was something I missed.
When I first tried chia seed pudding, I found that the soft gummy seeds helped create a fun new texture for me to enjoy.
My favorite flavor of oatmeal was probably cinnamon brown sugar (anyone else with me?), but a very close second was the peaches ‘n cream (especially if you made the oatmeal with milk!).
So of course one of the flavors I had to make this summer with peaches on sale was peaches ‘n cream chia seed pudding!
Creamy and bursting with juicy peach flavor, this chia seed pudding will bring back some of the nostalgia of peaches ‘n cream oatmeal.
