Print Recipe

A quick and easy chia pudding bowl featuring creamy chia pudding, ripe banana slices, and crunchy granola, perfect for a cozy Valentine’s morning or any fuss-free breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (about 45 g)
  • 1 cup almond milk (240 ml) or any milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (15 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5 ml)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • ¼ cup granola (30 g), preferably oat-based with cinnamon or nuts
  • Fresh berries (optional, a handful)

Instructions

  1. Combine chia seeds and almond milk in a mixing bowl or mason jar. Whisk thoroughly to prevent clumping.
  2. Stir in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir or shake after 30 minutes to break up clumps.
  4. Slice the banana and measure out granola just before serving. Rinse and dry fresh berries if using.
  5. Spoon the chilled chia pudding into a serving bowl. Top with banana slices, granola, and optional berries. Drizzle extra honey or maple syrup if desired.
  6. Serve immediately to keep granola crunchy. Store pudding and banana slices separately if prepping ahead.

Notes

If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen. If too thin, add more chia seeds and chill longer. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Prep pudding the night before for best texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Variations include adding cocoa powder for chocolate flavor or mixing berries into pudding.
