Ingredients
Chia pudding
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Caramelized bananas
- 1/2 banana, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- Optional: ground cinnamon
Salted tahini caramel
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Pinch or two of sea salt

Instructions
- Add the milk, chia seeds, hemp hearts and cinnamon to a small pot or saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring to a low boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it has thickened (it will continue to thicken up as it sits). Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add additional milk as needed to reach your desired consistency and transfer chia pudding to a bowl.
- Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add banana slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and caramelized. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon if using.
- Combine tahini, maple syrup and sea salt to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add water as needed too thin.
- Add caramelized bananas, tahini caramel and any other desired toppings to the chia pudding and enjoy!
