A creamy, wholesome chia pudding bowl made with coconut milk, topped with banana slices and honey drizzle. Perfect for a cozy Valentine’s Day breakfast or any morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (organic black chia seeds preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (plus extra for drizzle)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large banana, sliced
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: fresh berries (strawberries or raspberries)
  • Optional: toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts
  • Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon or cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk in a mixing bowl or jar. Stir well with a whisk or fork to break up any clumps (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir thoroughly to combine (about 1 minute).
  3. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent chia seeds from settling or clumping.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into pudding.
  5. Just before serving, slice 1 large ripe banana. If using, prepare optional toppings like fresh berries or toasted coconut flakes/nuts.
  6. Stir the pudding well, spoon into bowls, arrange banana slices on top, and drizzle generously with honey. Add any extra toppings as desired.
  7. Serve immediately chilled.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creaminess. Stir the pudding after 5 minutes of resting and again after 2 hours if needed to prevent clumping. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of coconut milk before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not reheat; serve cold.
