Here's another site that's got Chia Seed recipes here's the pudding recipe:

Chocolate Chia Pudding Parfaits

Makes 2 servings. Inspired by Food Doodles and Oh She Glows.

■1 cup milk
■1/4 cup chia seeds
■1/4 cup pure maple syrup
■1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
■2 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
■1 ½ cups frozen banana slices (about 1 ½ ripe bananas)
■1/3 cup milk plus more if needed to blend
■2/3 cup chopped strawberries
Prepare the pudding ahead of time by combining 1 cup milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Sift in the cocoa powder to remove any clumps, then whisk vigorously until all of the ingredients are incorporated (the cocoa powder is sometimes stubborn during this step, but I find tilting the bowl to the side helps the liquid absorb it more quickly). Place the chocolate chia pudding mixture in a lidded container and refrigerate at least two hours or overnight to thicken.

Prior to serving, blend the frozen banana slices and 1/3 cup of milk together in a high-powered blender, adding more milk, a tablespoon at a time, as needed to blend. (You may, as an alternative, use a food processor to make a banana puree. In this instance, the milk may not be necessary at all.)

To serve, place the chocolate chia pudding, banana puree, and strawberries in 2 tall glasses or jars in alternating layers. Garnish with a strawberry on top if you want it to be fancy schmancy.

I came across a Chia Seed Pudding recipe recently that I've added cocoa, protein powder and eggs to and am eating for breakfast 4 days a week - I've also experimented with switching the coconut oil for avocado, use madadamia nuts instead of almonds and this week tried coconut milk instead of almond milk.

use them in place of eggs in recipes. I made brownies out of them today

Good ideas. I have only had them soaked already. Do folks eat them dry?

Yes they can be used for both oil & egg replacement in baking as can flax seeds (for an egg).
