Description
A creamy and nutritious chocolate banana hazelnut chia pudding that is perfect for a healthy dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, mashed banana, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until well combined and there are no lumps.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
- Once the pudding has set, stir it well before serving.
- Divide the pudding into serving bowls and top with chopped hazelnuts. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- For added sweetness, consider topping the pudding with fresh berries or a drizzle of nut butter.
- Substitute the hazelnuts with your favorite nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds, for a different flavor and texture.
