Flaxseed Pudding (Edit recipe)

Notes

Is ground flaxseed and flaxseed meal the same thing? Yes! Ground flaxseed and flaxseed meal are the same thing. Do you have to refrigerate ground flaxseed? No. You don't have to refrigerate ground or whole flaxseeds. Storing in an airtight container in a cool dark pantry is just fine. You can store flaxseeds in the fridge to extend their shelf life. Here are some of my favorite toppings and ways to make it. Chocolate: Add cocoa powder to your pudding mix for a chocolaty flavor. You can also add chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a fun twist. Berry: This is my favorite way to make flaxseed pudding. I love adding whatever fresh fruit I have on hand. Pumpkin Spice: Add in pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice and you have a delicious fall treat. Matcha Green Tea: Add in your favorite matcha powder. Almond Joy: Add cocoa powder to your pudding mix and use almond extract instead of vanilla extract. Then top your pudding with shredded coconut and almonds and even a drizzle of almond butter. Spiced Apple: Add some applesauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg to your pudding mix. Then top with chopped apple or cooked cinnamon apples. Tropical: Use coconut milk in your pudding mixture then top with pineapple, mango, or papaya and coconut flakes. Peanut Butter: Add a little bit of peanut butter to the pudding mixture then you can top the pudding with a drizzle of peanut butter. If you add peanut butter to the pudding mixture make sure to not add too much so you keep the creamy texture and pudding consistency. Flaxseed pudding should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. I like to store mine in individual servings in a glass jar, like a mason jar. As a general rule, it's safe to store flaxseed pudding in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
