Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 bananas (very ripe, medium-sized), peeled
- 1.5 cups (360 milliliters) unsweetened coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) chia seeds
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Thoroughly mash ripe bananas in a 16-ounce (473 milliliters) glass jar or medium-sized mixing bowl using a sturdy fork until smooth and creamy.
- Sprinkle organic chia seeds, pure vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon over the mashed bananas, stirring gently to create an even, well-integrated mixture.
- Slowly pour full-fat coconut milk into the banana-chia blend, whisking carefully to guarantee uniform distribution of the seeds and prevent clumping.
- Securely seal the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap to prevent moisture absorption and potential contamination.
- Refrigerate the pudding for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and develop a rich, gelatinous texture.
- Before serving, give the pudding a gentle stir to redistribute any settled ingredients and ensure a consistent, creamy consistency.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh banana slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and visual appeal.
