In a medium mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until smooth.

Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid.

After resting, whisk again to prevent clumping and achieve a thicker texture.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.

Once set, stir gently to break up any clumps before serving.

Portion into bowls and add desired toppings like fresh berries, crushed nuts, or extra cinnamon.
