Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 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 nectar)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Fruit
- 1 banana, chopped or mashed
Instructions
- Prepare the banana: Finely chop or mash the banana in a bowl to help it incorporate smoothly into the pudding mixture.
- Combine ingredients: Add the chia seeds, cinnamon, light coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste to the banana in the bowl.
- Mix the pudding: Whisk the combined ingredients thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and there are no lumps.
- Set to thicken: Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any chia clumps and mix well.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the pudding to thicken properly.
- Serve: Enjoy the pudding as is or top it with additional chopped banana, coconut flakes, or your favorite toppings for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
- The pudding thickens more the longer it chills; overnight recommended for best texture.
- Substitute the light coconut milk with almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk as preferred.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste by varying maple syrup amount.
- Optional cinnamon adds warmth and depth to flavor.
