Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling two ripe bananas and placing them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the bananas until they are creamy and free of lumps, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  2. To the mashed bananas, add 1/4 cup of natural peanut butter, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix everything together using a whisk or spoon until the ingredients are fully combined.
  3. Next, stir in 1/4 cup of chia seeds to the banana peanut butter mixture. Ensure that the chia seeds are evenly dispersed throughout.
  4. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the pudding chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
  5. After the chilling time, remove the pudding from the refrigerator. Stir to redistribute the chia seeds and adjust the consistency with a splash of almond milk if desired.
  6. Spoon the pudding into bowls or jars, and top with sliced bananas, crushed peanuts, or extra peanut butter. Enjoy!
