Paljas Porgand recipes: overnight chia chocolate pudding
Paljas Porgand recipes can be sweet and creamy too, and completely ready by morning. This overnight chia chocolate pudding is perfect when you want to stir something together in a jar in 5 minutes in the evening and eat it in the morning without turning on the stove.
Why do Paljas Porgand recipes and overnight pudding go so well together?
The idea behind this recipe is simple: you take the dry ingredients, stir them together with the liquid and let the fridge do the work. Oat flakes and oat bran absorb the liquid, chia seeds give the pudding a thicker texture, and raw cacao makes the flavor nicely chocolatey.
Overnight pudding is a great choice for a rushed morning, especially when you already know in the evening that the next day starts early. Take the jar out of the fridge, grab a spoon and breakfast is sorted. Honestly, this is one of those recipes where the hardest part is not tasting everything the night before.
The recipe is for one person. The amounts are small, but thanks to the chia seeds and oats the pudding is surprisingly filling. If you want a bigger portion, make a second jar rather than eyeballing the recipe and making it too runny.
Paljas Porgand recipes: what do you need for this pudding?
The ingredients are simple. There is no long baking and no complicated technique. All you need is a jar or bowl that you can cover with a lid or cling film.
- 20g oat flakes
- 20g oat bran
- 10g chia seeds
- 15g raw cacao powder
- 200 ml water or milk
- sweetener of your choice, to taste
- a pinch of salt
For garnish, add 5g of crushed Rawsom cacao nibs on top. They give the pudding a crunch and a stronger cacao flavor. If you prefer a softer texture, you can stir them into the pudding only in the morning.
How do you make overnight chia chocolate pudding?
It comes together quickly, but it’s worth mixing properly. Chia seeds tend to clump if they stay in one spot. To avoid this, stir the pudding right after adding the liquid and, if needed, once more before putting it in the fridge.
- Mix all the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Sweeten as needed.
- Close the lid and leave it in the fridge overnight.
- In the morning, stir the pudding and add a little more water/milk if needed.
- Sprinkle the cacao nibs on top and serve!
So what actually happens? Overnight, the oat flakes soften and the chia seeds swell. The result is more of a creamy dessert than a classic warm porridge. If you use milk, the flavor is rounder. With water, the result is lighter and the cacao flavor comes through more.
Paljas Porgand recipes and practical tips for adjusting the flavor
The amount of sweetener depends on how strong a cacao flavor you like. Raw cacao can be bitter, so start modestly and fine-tune the flavor in the morning. A pinch of salt won’t make the pudding salty. It simply brings out the chocolate flavor better.
If the pudding feels too thick in the morning, add a little water or milk and stir again. If it’s too runny, let it sit for a few more minutes. Chia keeps working even after you take it out of the fridge.
A good trick is to use a wide-mouth jar. That way you can reach all the dry ingredients at the bottom and won’t be scraping around in a narrow corner with your spoon. If you take the pudding to work or school, put the cacao nibs in a small separate container. That keeps them crunchier.
The simple truth: this recipe works best when you give it time. Chia pudding made in a hurry is often watery or lumpy. Resting overnight in the fridge is the whole magic here.
FAQ
Does this pudding really have to sit overnight?
The best texture comes from resting overnight. A shorter time can work too, but chia seeds and oats need time to absorb the liquid.
Should I use water or milk?
Both work. Milk makes the pudding creamier, while water keeps the flavor lighter and more cacao-forward.
Is the pudding suitable as a dessert?
Yes. If you add sweetener to your own taste and keep the texture nicely thick, it is more reminiscent of a cold chocolate cream than an ordinary breakfast porridge.
