Ingredients
To Make The Banana Chia Pudding
- 2 large bananas peeled
- 1 ½ cups oat milk 350 ml
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 3 pitted Medjool Dates
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds 72 grams
Optional For Serving
- Seel-cut oats granola
- Fresh banana slices
- Dark chocolate shavings or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend bananas, milk, spices, and dates in a blender until smooth and the dates are completely pulverized.
- Stir the chia seeds in your banana-milk mixture until well combined. Let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes at room temperature.
- Give it another stir to break up any clumps of chia seed that might have developed—especially at the bottom.
- Transfer to a mason jar(s) with a lid or airtight container and store it in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until it has a nice, thick, pudding-like consistency. Some like the texture better after resting it for 2 hours in the fridge.
- You can also let it sit overnight in the refrigerator (best for meal prepping).
- When ready to consume, give it a good stir and take out what you need. Serve with extra fresh banana slices and dark shaved chocolate or chocolate chips (optional).

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover banana chia pudding in an airtight container or divide it into single-serve containers for up to 5 days.
- Consume in moderation: Chia seed puddings are very filling and high in fiber. I count about ½ cup per person for daily consumption.
