Description
Banana Chia Honey Milk Pudding is a creamy, no cook breakfast made with ripe bananas, chia seeds, milk, and honey. This fiber rich, potassium packed recipe comes together in just 5 minutes of prep time and thickens beautifully in the fridge. Perfect for meal prep, busy mornings, or a wholesome snack.
Ingredients
1 medium ripe banana, peeled
1 cup milk of choice
5 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 half teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 quarter teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly using a fork. Continue mashing until the texture is mostly smooth with no large lumps remaining.
- Add the milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon directly into the bowl with the mashed banana.
- Stir everything together very well. Make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cover the bowl tightly with food safe plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the refrigerator and stir again. This step prevents the chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
- Cover once more and return to the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to thicken completely.
- Before serving, give the pudding one final stir and enjoy chilled straight from the refrigerator.
Notes
Make sure chia seeds are fresh for proper thickening.
Refrigerate chia seeds to extend shelf life.
For added protein, mix in a scoop of protein powder and add 1 quarter cup extra milk if needed.
For a smoother texture, blend the mixture before chilling.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Add toppings just before serving to maintain texture.
