Ingredients

1 ripe banana
3 tablespoons chia seeds
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup milk of choice

Instructions

Break the banana into chunks and add them to the bottom of a 14-ounce jar with a lid. Then use a fork to mash them until relatively smooth. (It's okay if there are still a few small chunks.)
Next, add the chia seeds, cinnamon, and milk. Use a whisk or fork to stir well, breaking up the chia seeds as much as possible. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again.
Secure the lid on the jar and store it in the fridge overnight. The next day, the pudding will be thick from the chia seeds plumping up. You can enjoy this chia pudding straight from the fridge, with any additional toppings you like.

Notes

Nutrition information is for the whole batch. This information is automatically calculated using an online ingredient database, so it's just an estimate and not a guarantee.

Storage Tip: This pudding is best served within 48 hours. I noticed that the top starts to turn brown and unappealing after that timeframe. So, don't make more than 2 days' worth at a time!

Topping Ideas: You can add sliced banana, chewy raisins, walnuts for crunch, or a drizzle of peanut butter and honey for added texture and flavor. Anything that tastes good with banana bread will taste good here!
