Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas (spotty and soft for best sweetness and flavor)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (black or white both work)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but lovely)
  • Pinch of salt (enhances flavor)
  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, toasted coconut, crushed nuts, cocoa nibs, berries, or a drizzle of peanut butter

Method
 

  1. Mash the bananas: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving a few small bits for texture.
  2. Whisk the base: Add milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined and the honey is fully dissolved.
  3. Stir in chia seeds: Sprinkle the chia seeds over the mixture and whisk thoroughly to prevent clumping.
  4. Rest and whisk again: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then whisk once more to break up any settling seeds.
  5. Chill: Transfer to jars or a sealed container. Refrigerate at least 3–4 hours, ideally overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
  6. Serve: Give it a good stir, taste for sweetness, and add an extra drizzle of honey if needed. Top with sliced banana, nuts, or your favorite add-ons.
