Description
A creamy, nutrient-rich chia pudding combining the rich flavors of chocolate, ripe banana, and smooth peanut butter, making it an ideal healthy breakfast or satisfying dessert that requires minimal preparation and no cooking.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
Fruit & Sweetener
- 1 banana (mashed or sliced)
- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Liquids and Cocoa: In a jar or bowl, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and peanut butter until smooth and fully blended to create a chocolatey base.
- Add Chia Seeds and Sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds and honey or maple syrup if using, mixing thoroughly to prevent clumping and evenly distribute the chia seeds.
- Mix and Set: Give everything a final good stir to ensure no lumps form, then cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, ideally overnight, to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Final Stir: After about 10 minutes in the fridge, stir the pudding once more to break up any forming clumps for a smoother texture before letting it set fully.
- Serve with Banana: When ready to eat, top the pudding with the mashed or sliced banana to add natural sweetness and freshness.
Notes
- Stir again after 10 minutes in the fridge to prevent clumping and reach a creamier consistency.
- Add granola or nuts on top for extra crunch and texture when serving.
- Use any preferred plant-based milk for a vegan-friendly option like almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
