Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
Topping
- 1 banana (mashed or sliced)
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and peanut butter until smooth and fully blended to ensure an even chocolate-peanut butter flavor throughout the pudding.
- Add Chia Seeds and Sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds and optional honey or maple syrup thoroughly, making sure there are no clumps so the seeds can absorb the liquid properly.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture well again to evenly distribute the chia seeds and prevent them from sticking together for a smooth texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 to 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to swell and create a creamy pudding consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding once more to loosen and smooth it out, then top with sliced or mashed banana for added natural sweetness and texture.
Notes
- Stir the pudding again about 10 minutes after mixing to help prevent clumping and improve texture.
- For added crunch and flavor, top with granola or nuts before serving.
- You can use any preferred milk such as almond, soy, oat, or dairy milk depending on dietary preference.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or syrup to taste.
