A creamy and indulgent chia pudding bowl topped with fresh banana slices and a warm honey drizzle, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons (about 45 grams) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (almond milk or oat milk recommended)
  • 1 large ripe banana, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries (raspberries or strawberries), chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds), shredded coconut, cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons (45 g) chia seeds with 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk. Whisk thoroughly to prevent clumps. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to redistribute chia seeds.
  2. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to the mixture and stir well.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, until thick and creamy. Stir in a splash of milk if too thick.
  4. Just before serving, slice one large ripe banana into thin rounds. Toss gently with 1 teaspoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
  5. Warm 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey in a small saucepan over very low heat or microwave in 10-second bursts until just warm and pourable. Avoid overheating.
  6. Spoon the chilled chia pudding into serving bowls or glass jars. Arrange banana slices on top.
  7. Slowly drizzle the warm honey over the banana and pudding.
  8. Add optional toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or shredded coconut if desired.

Notes

Warm honey gently to preserve floral notes and create a glossy drizzle. Stir chia pudding once or twice during chilling to avoid clumps. Use lemon juice on banana slices to prevent browning. Adjust thickness by adding more chia seeds or milk as needed. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
