Instructions

Mash the banana in a medium bowl. Add the milk, chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla and stir well to combine. Let stand 10-15 minutes and stir (the chia seeds should have thickened somewhat, so stirring helps break them up).

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

Serve the pudding with sliced banana and coconut flakes, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Freeze Banana for Creamier Texture 🍌
Use frozen banana slices instead of fresh to create an ultra-creamy pudding without diluting it with excess liquid as the banana thaws.
Bloom Chia Seeds First ⏱️
Mix chia seeds with a small portion of coconut milk 5 minutes before adding other ingredients to activate their thickening power and prevent clumping.
Balance Sweetness with Salt 🧂
Add a tiny pinch of sea salt to enhance the banana and maple flavors while preventing the pudding from tasting one-dimensional or overly sweet.
Toast Coconut Flakes for Maximum Flavor 🔆
Lightly toast the coconut flakes in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before topping to deepen their flavor and add textural contrast to the creamy pudding.
Chill Overnight for Best Results ❄️
Prepare the pudding the night before serving; chia seeds continue absorbing liquid and the flavors meld beautifully for a perfectly thick consistency.
