Healthy Banana Cream Pie Chia Pudding (Vegan / Gluten Free)
Ingredients
Chia Pudding
- 2 cups creamy oatly plant milk *
- ½ cup chia seeds **
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
Banana Nice Cream
- 3 frozen bananas or more, depends how much banana mixture you want!
- ½ tsp vanilla
- plant milk enough just to get the bananas to mix properly
- pinch of turmeric for colour, optional
Toppings
- coconut chips
- banana slices
- puffed quinoa
- granola optional, to add crunch and to be the 'pie crust'
Instructions
- Mix all of the chia pudding ingredients together until the chia seeds are fully combined with the liquid. Then let the seeds swell in the fridge for about 3-4 hours minimum.
- Once the chia pudding is ready, mix the banana nice cream ingredients together in a high speed blender. Scoop the banana nice cream on to chia pudding in serving cups. Sprinkle the toppings over the pudding and banana nice cream and enjoy! :)
Notes
*I used oatly's creamy oat for this recipe with 13% fat, but you can use any neutral plant milk for this recipe, or coconut milk. It's best to choose one with a higher fat percentage for this recipe to achieve that thick banana cream pie texture, but you can use low fat plant milk if you prefer.
**I find 1/2 cup chia seeds to be best for this recipe if you wait about 3-4 hours, but if you let the pudding sit overnight it gets more thick so then you can just add a splash of plant milk in the morning before enjoying to make it less thick again (if you want of course!). It depends how firm you like your pudding to be.
