- 1 Banana
- 125ml (½ cup) Canned Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
Mash the banana until smooth and creamy.
Add the mashed banana, coconut milk,and chia seeds to a small mixing bowl/jug and stir until well.
After around 5 mins give the pudding another good stir to make sure the chia seeds are not clumped together and are well dispersed.
Transfer the mixture to serving dishes/ jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Want it Sweeter? Add a little maple syrup or honey (not suitable for under 1s)
- Want it Smoother? Blend the mixture for a smoother pudding.
- Chia Seeds: You can use white or black. Pictured is the pudding made with white seeds, black seeds will be more visible.
- Milk: Canned coconut milk makes the pudding extra thick and creamy but any milk will work.
- Optional Add-ins: Why not try adding some spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, or vanilla. A little lime juice is also delicious or swirl through some fruit compote.
