What You Need

To make chia seed pudding with banana and peanut butter, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients. Most of these are pantry staples, so you probably already have them at home.

For starters, you’ll need chia seeds. These tiny seeds absorb liquid and form a gel-like consistency, perfect for pudding.

Next, grab some milk. You can use any plant-based milk, like almond or soy.

You’ll also need a ripe banana. The sweetness and flavor of the banana really shine in this recipe.

Don’t forget peanut butter. It adds a creamy texture and a nutty flavor that pairs well with the banana and chia seeds.

Maple syrup or agave works great as a natural sweetener. Just a bit goes a long way in adding extra sweetness.

A teaspoon of vanilla extract will also enhance the flavor.

Finally, a dash of salt can help bring out all the flavors.

These simple ingredients combine into a delicious, healthy treat. Enjoy!

Preparing The Ingredients

For chia seed pudding with banana and peanut butter, you need just a few ingredients. Start by gathering 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. These little seeds absorb liquid and turn into a gel-like pudding.

Next, measure out 1 cup of milk. You can use any milk you like, such as almond, coconut, or regular cow’s milk. It’s up to you.

Grab a ripe banana. A ripe banana will add natural sweetness and easy-mash texture. You’ll need to peel and slice it.

Get 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Smooth peanut butter works best, but if you like extra crunch, go for crunchy.

Finally, you need 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or another sweetener, if desired. The banana already adds sweetness, so this is optional.

Make sure all your ingredients are fresh and of good quality. Now you’re ready to mix them together into a delicious pudding.

Serving Suggestions

• You can enjoy your chia seed pudding right out of the fridge.
• Add some extra toppings for a special touch. Sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of granola all work well.
• For added crunch, try chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts.
• It also pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea in the morning.
• If you like it sweeter, you can mix in some chocolate chips or raisins.
• Another idea is layering it with yogurt for a parfait-style treat.
• You could also use it as a base for a smoothie bowl. Just pour it into a bigger bowl, add some fruits and a scoop of peanut butter.
• If you’re feeling fancy, a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg can add a warm spice to your pudding.
• Remember to keep it chilled until you’re ready to eat for the best texture and flavor.

Storage Tips

• Keep your chia seed pudding in an airtight container. Mason jars work great.
• Store it in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to five days.
• Separate your banana and peanut butter toppings. Add them right before you eat to keep the pudding fresh.
• Label the container with the date you made it. This way, you know when it’s still good to eat.
• Avoid freezing if possible. The texture of the pudding can change once defrosted.
• Stir well before eating. This helps mix the chia seeds and milk again, making it smooth.
• If the pudding looks or smells off, don’t eat it. It’s better to be safe.
