Ingredients
Banana Chia Pudding Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 1/4 cup light coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, agave)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 banana, chopped or mashed
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the banana: Finely chop or mash the banana in a bowl to create a creamy base for the pudding that will blend well with the chia seeds and liquid.
- Mix ingredients: Add chia seeds, cinnamon (if using), light coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Rest and prevent clumps: Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any chia seed clumps for a smooth consistency.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into pudding.
- Serve: Enjoy the pudding straight from the fridge, optionally topped with extra chopped banana, coconut flakes, or your preferred toppings.
Notes
- You can substitute light coconut milk with almond milk, oat milk, or any milk of your choice.
- The pudding can be made sweeter or less sweet by adjusting the amount of maple syrup or using honey or agave instead.
- For a thicker pudding, increase the chia seeds to 1/3 cup.
- Overnight chilling helps the pudding reach optimal creamy texture.
- Add fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds as toppings to add texture and flavor variety.
