Chia Pudding: Banana & Peanut Butter
Source: Found on Pinterest
Keep it chilled until you’re ready to eat for the best texture and flavor.
If you like it sweeter, you can mix in some chocolate chips.
You can layer it with yogurt for a parfait-style treat.
The trick to thickening Chia seed pudding is to stir often, a few times after mixing, then refrigerating several hours or overnight.
Can eat as a dessert or for breakfast
Ingredients
- 4 Tbls. chia seeds
- 1 c. of milk
- 1 t. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbls. creamy peanut butter, softened (Jiff Natural)
- pinch of salt
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 1-1/2 Tbls. peanut butter, divided
- 1 Tbls. maple syrup optional for serving
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, tablespoon of soft peanut butter and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. **Let stand 5 minutes. Whisk and let stand another 5 minutes.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency. Stir again, after 30 minutes of being in refrigerator.
Divide the chia pudding into two servings (dessert cups or mini jars). Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, peel and slice banana.
Top each serving with sliced banana, a dollop of peanut butter and drizzle with a little maple syrup, if desired.
Stir before eating.
