Description
A delicious and nutritious treat combining chocolate and peanut butter with the health benefits of chia seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 80g chia seeds
- 480ml unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 60g natural peanut butter
- 18g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 15–30ml maple syrup or honey
- 5ml vanilla extract
- 30g chocolate protein powder (optional)
- Fresh berries or sliced bananas (for topping)
- Chopped peanuts or cacao nibs (for topping)
- Almond butter drizzle (for topping)
- Ground cinnamon or cayenne (a pinch, for flavor)
Instructions
- Combine the non-dairy milk, peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and chocolate protein powder (if using) in a blender or bowl. Blend until smooth and free of lumps, about 30 seconds in a blender or 1-2 minutes by hand.
- Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the liquid mixture. Blend or whisk again until the cocoa is fully dissolved, and the mixture looks shiny.
- Transfer the chocolate-peanut butter mixture to a large bowl. Add the chia seeds and fold them in with a spatula or whisk, making sure each seed is coated to prevent clumping.
- Divide the mixture evenly among four 240ml jars or airtight containers, leaving some space at the top. Seal them tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight (8 hours) for the best texture.
- When ready to serve, stir each jar to mix in any settled seeds. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
For a creamier texture, try using full-fat coconut milk instead of non-dairy milk. Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
