Gather
- 1 ripe banana
- 150-250 ml milk of choice (I used unsweetened oat)
- 2-3 tablespoons chia seeds (black, white or mixed)
- 1-2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- * toppings of choice e.g. fresh fruit, jam, nut butters, seeds
Prepare
-
Peel the banana, then roughly break into a saucepan. Add the milk, then gently bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and allow the banana to soften completely - you can increase the speed of this by mashing the banana with the back of your spoon.
-
Sprinkle the chia seeds over, and the cocoa, stir in, then leave to simmer for ten minutes. Check the consistency and add more milk if needed.
-
Turn off the heat and let the chia seeds expand fully. Check the consistency is to your liking (add more milk and reheat gently for a couple of minutes if needed).
-
Spoon (or pour) into your serving dish, add your toppings (& a side of frothy milk)!
-
Enjoy!
