Description
Creamy, no-bake Banana Chia Breakfast Cups made with ripe bananas, chia seeds, and milk. Naturally sweet, meal-prep friendly, and perfect for grab-and-go mornings.
Ingredients
2 medium ripe bananas (about 240 g mashed)
1½ cups milk of choice (360 ml)
6 tbsp chia seeds (60 g)
1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)
½ tsp ground cinnamon (1 g), optional
1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup (15 to 30 ml), optional
Toppings (optional): sliced banana, blueberries, raspberries, granola, nut butter, shredded coconut
Instructions
1. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl until mostly smooth.
2. Whisk in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon (if using), and maple syrup (if using).
3. Stir in the chia seeds until evenly combined and no dry clumps remain.
4. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
5. Divide into 3 to 4 jars or cups, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. Stir once more before serving, loosen with a splash of milk if needed, then add toppings and enjoy.
Notes
Stir twice before chilling to avoid chia clumps.
For thicker cups, chill overnight.
If too thin after chilling, stir in 1 tbsp (10 g) chia seeds and chill 30 minutes more.
If too thick, loosen with 1 to 3 tbsp (15 to 45 ml) milk before serving.
Storage: refrigerate covered up to 4 days. Best served cold.
