Description
This Banana Coconut Milk Chia Pudding is a tropical dream come true, creamy, lightly sweet, and full of nourishing goodness. Whether for breakfast or dessert, it’s easy to whip up and keeps you full and happy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2–4 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for topping)
- Fresh fruit for garnish (like banana slices or strawberries)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the chia seeds and coconut milk thoroughly to avoid clumps. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes so the seeds begin to expand.
- Stir in the mashed bananas, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. This helps the pudding thicken to a perfect creamy texture.
- Before serving, stir the pudding well. Portion into bowls or jars and top with shredded coconut and fresh fruit. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Be sure to let the pudding chill long enough for the chia seeds to absorb the liquid fully. Sweetener can be adjusted to your preference, and for best texture, stir after initially combining ingredients.
