Ingredients
  

Banana Chia Pudding
  • 2 cups Milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds fresh
  • 2 medium Ripe Bananas mashed
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
Optional Toppings
  • 1 small Banana sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Walnuts optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Fork
  • Scoop
  • Storage Containers
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, mashed bananas, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds thoroughly. Rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps and improve texture.
  3. Divide the mixture into storage containers, leaving space for toppings.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and creamy.
  5. Serve chilled with banana slices and walnuts. Add extra milk before serving for a softer consistency if desired.

Notes

For a softer texture, stir in extra milk before serving. Chill longer for a thicker consistency. Freeze individual portions without toppings for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings after thawing for the best assembly and crunch. Customize with cinnamon, cocoa powder, peanut butter, or berries. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
