This vegan pudding is quick, simple and delicious. (Adapted from Oat Milk Chocolate Pudding from New York Times Cooking)

Ingredients

  • 67 g. sugar (⅓ cup)
  • 28 g. cornstarch* (3½ tbsp.)
  • tsp. salt
  • 1-2 tsp. cinnamon**
  • 482 g. oat milk*** (2 cups)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions 

  • In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon. Add the oat milk and stir until combined. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently at the beginning and constantly after the first few minutes. The cinnamon may clump and not disperse at first, but it will as the mixture heats up and you continue stirring. Once the mixture thickens and starts to boil (approximately 10 minutes), remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Immediately pour into individual heatproof dishes or a large heatproof bowl. Cover the top with plastic wrap, directly on the surface of the pudding. This will prevent a skin from forming. Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate at least two hours before serving.

Notes

*For a thicker consistency, add an additional 4g. (½ tbsp.) cornstarch.
**For a reasonable cinnamon taste, start with 1 tsp. If you like a strong cinnamon flavor, go for 2 tsps. If you want to make a more autumn flavored pudding, mix in 1 tsp. cinnamon, ¼ tsp. ginger, ¼ tsp. allspice, a small pinch of nutmeg, and a small pinch of ground cloves.
***Oat milk works great for this recipe, but there is no reason why you cannot use soy milk, almond milk, or even regular milk (if you have no issue with dairy), although you may have to adjust the amount of cornstarch. The oat milk serves as a wonderful backdrop to the cinnamon/spice tones in this pudding.
