This sticky bun chia seed pudding is absolutely amazing! The chia seed pudding has a taste that is quite similar to a cinnamon roll. On top of that, it is garnished with caramelized pecans that are so delicious that you could even have them on their own as a snack.
It’s important to use erythritol as the main component of the recommended sweetener. Stevia is not a good choice as it doesn’t crystalize. Though you could try allulose, I haven’t experimented with it yet.

How to cook Sticky Bun Chia Seed Pudding
- Mix together the ingredients for the chia seed pudding. Cover and chill for a few hours.
- Add the butter and coconut cream to a saucepan. Turn up the heat then add the erythritol, and salt. Bring up to a simmer then stir in the pecans.
- Turn off the heat and stir the pecans to make sure they’re all thoroughly coated. Transfer the pecans to a parchment lined baking sheet. Spread the pecans out evenly and allow them to cool. The coating will harden as it cools.
