Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
  • Sliced bananas
  • Chocolate chips
  • Granola

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spoon
  • Jar or Container
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk chia seeds, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until fully blended and smooth. Break up any peanut butter lumps.
  2. Let mixture sit briefly, then stir again to prevent clumping and ensure even texture.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and spoonable.
  4. Stir before serving. Add toppings and adjust texture with a splash of milk if needed. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use more chia seeds for a thicker pudding or add milk for a softer texture. Stir early to avoid clumps. Do not freeze, as texture may become grainy. Layer carefully for clean presentation. Customize flavors with cocoa or spices. Store covered in the refrigerator up to four days.
