Ingredients
Banana Chia Honey Milk Pudding Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and mash them thoroughly in a mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth to form the base of the pudding.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chia seeds, honey, milk, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk or stir the mixture vigorously for about 2 minutes to ensure the chia seeds are well distributed and start absorbing the liquid.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and set the pudding to a creamy consistency.
- Stir and Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding again to break up any clumps. Serve chilled topped with fresh banana slices or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
- For a thicker pudding, reduce milk slightly or increase chia seeds to 4 tablespoons.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added texture, sprinkle nuts or seeds on top before serving.
