📖 Instructions
- Combine milk, chia seeds, butter, and pecan extract in a saucepan. Don't skimp on the extract – it's what gives it that wonderful pecan flavor!

- Stir in the chopped pecans and optional cinnamon during the last minute.
- Remove from heat. Stir in your choice of sweetener to taste.
- Pour into serving bowls and let cool slightly. If you're impatient like me, dig in right away!
