In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, lemon juice, melted butter and vanilla essence together.

Add the soaked chia seeds (they should have absorbed all the water by now to the milk mixture and whisk until the mixture is completely free of lumps.

Pour into the greased muffin pan and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
