Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 medium ripe banana mashed
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 –2 tsp maple syrup
- ¾ cup plant-based milk almond, oat, or soy
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract optional
Optional Toppings:
- More banana slices
- Extra peanut butter drizzle
- Mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs
- Granola or crushed nuts

Instructions
Step 1: Mash the Banana
- Mash 1 ripe banana in a bowl using a fork until smooth.
Step 2: Mix the Base Ingredients
- Add cocoa powder, plant-based milk, maple syrup, vanilla (optional), and peanut butter to the mashed banana.
- Stir until smooth and fully combined. (Tip: microwave peanut butter if it's too stiff.)
Step 3: Add Chia Seeds
- Add 3 tbsp chia seeds.
- Stir well to distribute evenly and avoid clumping. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again.
Step 4: Chill and Thicken
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best texture.
Step 5: Serve and Swirl
- Stir before serving. Add more milk if needed.
- Spoon into jars or bowls and top with banana slices, peanut butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
You can always stir your chia pudding twice — once right after mixing and again after 10 minutes. That small step will prevent clumping and make sure your pudding thickens.
