Banoffee Coconut Chia Pudding
Chocolaty and bittersweet! It’s a great pudding for a healthy breakfast, lunch break or dessert. And even the kids will love this!
The caramelized bananas and coconut lend a tropical feel to this pudding. It’s so creamy and literally melts in your mouth! And once again, it’s paleo, vegan (see options below), dairy free and gluten free.
You need:
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 2 ½ tbsp. raw cocoa
- 2 tbsp. water
- ¼ cup honey or a plant based alternative like maple syrup or agave
- 2 tsp Summer Day Naturals’ Ground Vanilla Bean
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 large banana, sliced
- Unsweetened coconut flakes, to serve
Instructions:
- Mix chia seeds, coconut milk, cocoa powder, water, Ground Vanilla Bean and half of the sweetener (honey or plant based alternative) together. Divide among serving cups/glasses. Chill in the fridge for at least two hours.
- When you’re about to serve, heat up the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Fry the banana until golden and caramelized.*
- Place the caramelized bananas on the banoffee pudding and drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp. of sweetener. Serve with unsweetened coconut flakes.**
- Enjoy!
*Be careful when frying the bananas, as they get soft and can get squashed easily. A great way to reduce this risk is to slice the banana thickly.
**You can also serve this with a variety of toppings, like chocolate chips, nuts and so on.
