Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, mashed until smooth

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional for warmth)

Fresh banana slices and extra chia seeds for garnish

Nuts or granola for topping (optional for added texture)

Instructions
 

In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the mashed banana with the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon if you choose to use it. Mix until all ingredients are smoothly integrated and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

    Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual serving jars for convenient storage and serving.

      Refrigerate the covered bowl or jars for at least 4 hours, although overnight is recommended. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the almond milk, resulting in a thickened pudding-like texture.

        When you’re ready to serve, give the pudding a good stir to break up any lumps that may have formed. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, simply add a splash of almond milk until you reach your preferred consistency.

          Serve the creamy banana chia pudding in bowls or jars. Top with fresh banana slices, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and, if desired, a handful of your choice of nuts or granola to add a delightful crunch.

              - Presentation Tips: For a beautiful presentation, layer the pudding in clear jars to showcase the texture, and arrange the garnishes artfully on top.
