# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
After your pudding thickens up in the fridge, stir it up well, scoop it into cups or bowls, and throw on whatever toppings sound good, like coconut, banana, peanuts, granola, or chocolate chips.
02 -
Place your jar or sealed container in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or let it chill overnight, so the chia seeds puff up and everything gets nice and thick.
03 -
Try the mixture, and if you want it sweeter, just add more honey or maple syrup to taste.
04 -
Pour in your milk a little at a time while stirring so everything mixes together and the chia seeds spread out.
05 -
Mix those chia seeds into your banana and peanut butter stuff. Stir them around so they're everywhere.
06 -
Toss in vanilla, honey or maple syrup if you want, plus a bit of salt if that’s your thing. Give it all a good mix.
07 -
Drop your peanut butter into the mashed bananas and keep stirring until it goes all creamy and smooth.
08 -
Start by mashing up those bananas in a bowl with a fork. Leave some little chunks if you like them.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If you leave this overnight in the fridge, it'll get extra thick and creamy. Give it a really good stir before scooping it out so the seeds mix through.
