How to Make Banana Coconut Chia Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of your choice of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and 1/4 cup chia seeds. Heat over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture just begins to simmer.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 2 ripe bananas (mashed), 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Divide the pudding into four serving dishes or jars.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a creamy texture.
  5. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
