Vegan Banana Pudding from Scratch

This vegan banana Pudding from scratch is made with almond milk, bananas, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chia seeds.

This pudding is a no bake no cook recipe. Adding chia seeds into the banana mixture when soak will plump up, causing the consistency to be thick, creating a delicious and easy pudding. Chia seeds have a neutral flavor so you can make pudding from many different blended fruits. You can always add cocoa powder, berries or substitute with oat milk. Since this requires 8 minutes of soaking, it is great to make this recipe at night, let it soak overnight, and then eat for breakfast.

What you will need

• Milk: If you want this recipe to be vegan, make it with almond or oat milk. If not, you can use regular milk.
•  Chia seeds: Chia seeds are essential for this recipe. It is what gives the pudding the consistency it needs.
• Bananas: You can use any fruit, but bananas worked like a charm. You can never have too many chia pudding recipes!
• Maple syrup: If you would like for this to be vegan, use maple syrup. If not, feel free to use honey.
• Cinnamon: If you don’t have cinnamon, nutmeg also gives it a nice rounding taste.
• Vanilla: I used vanilla extract for this recipe – if you want to get crazy you can use almond extract, bourbon, or instant coffee!
