Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Peel the very ripe bananas, place them in a bowl and mash until smooth.

  2. Add the low fat milk and creamy natural peanut butter to the mashed banana and whisk until smooth and fully combined.

  3. Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed, breaking up any clumps.

  4. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes, then stir again to loosen any chia seeds that have clumped together.

  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thickened to a pudding texture.

  6. Spoon the pudding into serving dishes and serve chilled.
