Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Chia Cups

These creamy, spiced cups are the kind of make-ahead breakfast that feels indulgent but comes together with almost zero effort the night before. Full-fat coconut milk and almond milk form a rich, velvety base that sets overnight into a pudding thick enough to hold its shape — no flour, no starch, no workarounds needed. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. The real magic happens just before serving, when diced apples get sautéed in butter with maple syrup, cinnamon, and a whisper of nutmeg until they're tender and glazed. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the whole topping and keeps it from feeling heavy. Spooned warm over the cold pudding, the contrast in temperature and texture is genuinely hard to beat. Optional toasted walnuts add a little crunch, but honestly these cups are stunning either way — and this recipe makes four, so the whole table is covered.
