Description
Banana chia seed pudding is a creamy, nutritious, and satisfying breakfast or snack made with bananas, chia seeds, and coconut or almond milk, perfect for a healthy start to your day.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup coconut milk or almond milk
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional for added sweetness)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Add the coconut milk (or almond milk), vanilla extract, maple syrup (or honey), and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
- Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
- After the pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps, and serve in bowls or jars.
- Garnish with fresh fruit, nuts, or granola if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store the chia seed pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- Reheating: It’s best enjoyed cold, but if you prefer it warm, gently reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a little extra milk to maintain its creamy texture.
- Variations: Try adding diced mango or pineapple for a tropical twist, or mix in some cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth.
