Ingredients

Scale

Essential Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural, creamy)
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave) to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mash the Bananas: Peel and mash ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth. Using ripe bananas ensures natural sweetness and creamy texture.
  2. Mix Peanut Butter and Milk: In a separate container, combine peanut butter with milk or plant-based milk. Stir well until fully blended and creamy.
  3. Combine Mixtures with Chia Seeds: Add the mashed bananas and peanut butter mixture to a mixing bowl. Stir in chia seeds evenly until well incorporated.
  4. Sweeten and Flavor: Add sweetener and vanilla extract if desired. Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors uniformly throughout the pudding.
  5. Refrigerate and Set: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like consistency.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
  • Stir the pudding before serving to prevent chia seeds from clumping.
  • Adjust sweetness before chilling to avoid over-sweetening.
  • Overnight chilling produces the best texture and flavor development.
  • Use natural, creamy peanut butter for a smoother pudding.
