Made with chia seeds, almond milk and raw cashews, these chia chai latte puddings by Julie Zimmer are filled with fibre, protein, omega-3 fats and other nutrients. They are tasty and easy to make. They have all of the spices that are in a chai latte; however, I’ve replaced the black tea with 100% powdered cacao. For that extra cinnamon flavor, top up with cinnamon powder or stick. Grab yourself a spoon and enjoy!
8. Chai Bars With Pumpkin Spice Glaze
While the ingredient list might be intimidating, this Chai Bars With Pumpkin Spice Glaze recipe by Natalie Martin MS, RD and Lexie Staten MS, RD simply requires a couple of rounds in the food processor.

If ever there were an ode to fall in doughnut form, these Chai Spiced Pumpkin Doughnuts with Vanilla Cashew Butter Glaze by Courtney West would be it. Warm spices, earthy pumpkin, maple sweetness, and a vanilla bean-flecked cashew butter glaze. There’s no added oil (except what you grease your pan with) and they’re extra virtuous thanks to the fact that they’re baked not fried!
10. Creamy Chai Coconut Popsicles
These Creamy Chai Coconut Popsicles by Abbey Rodriguez are the best way to cool off on a warm day. The creamy coconut base is flavored with a spicy chai-infused almond milk to give it a little extra zest and then drizzled with chocolate and sprinkled with shaved almonds. You won’t be able to stop eating the frozen delicacies – which is okay because they are so easy to make.
11. Chai Vanilla Oatmeal
Cozy up with this chai vanilla oatmeal by Harriet Porterfield. As close as you’ll get to a hug in a bowl. With fragrant spices and a good dose of creamy vanilla, this recipe is a staple for the colder season. Oatmeal doesn’t need to be boring! You can add your favorite toppings and the best fruits of the season. You can save time by prepping this the night before, just leave to soak overnight and heat through in the morning.
