Ingredients

  • 1 Banana
  • 125ml (½ cup) Canned Coconut Milk
  • 2 tbsp Chia Seeds

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
