# Required ingredients:
→ Chia Pudding Base
01 - 3 tablespoons chia seeds
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
04 - 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Banana Layer
06 - 1 large ripe banana, sliced
→ Peanut Butter Layer
07 - 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
→ Optional Toppings
08 - 2 teaspoons dark chocolate chips
09 - 1 tablespoon chopped roasted peanuts
10 - Banana slices for garnish
# How to make it:
01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined. Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping and ensure even hydration.
02 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight until the pudding reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
03 - When ready to serve, slice the ripe banana into even, bite-sized pieces.
04 - Divide chia pudding between two jars or serving glasses. Layer half the pudding at the bottom, followed by banana slices and a drizzle of peanut butter. Repeat layers with remaining pudding, banana, and peanut butter.
05 - Top with dark chocolate chips, chopped roasted peanuts, and additional banana slices if desired. Serve immediately while chilled.
