Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding Parfait
So I am sitting here waiting for this cyclone to strike, feeling quite bored with a very strange sci fi robot movie in the background. Thought I would try to make the most of electricity while it still lasts and upload an old recipe from almost a year ago that just never made it to the blog. I think this was one of those recipes that I just ended up sharing on social media but it is my all time favourite way to have chia pudding and I have it quite often. Its a simple recipe that I usually have with lots of layered banana and strawberry although I didn’t photograph it with strawberries in these pics. The recipe is vegan, gluten free and very yummy. I don’t really know what to say about it since its been such a long time since we photographed these parfaits. So without further ado, here is the recipe 🙂
The recipe was originally adapted from Secret Squirrel.

- PEANUT BUTTER BASE:
- ½ cup pitted medjool dates
- ½ cup peanut butter
- pinch salt
- ⅓ cup light coconut milk or other plant milk of choice
- CHIA PUDDING:
- 1 cup light coconut milk or other plant milk
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 TBSP cacao powder
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- drop vanilla extract
- OTHER LAYERS:
- sliced banana
- cacao nibs
- toasted buckwheat groats
- Blend the peanut butter, dates, salt and coconut milk in a food processor until it forms a smooth sticky paste. Layer a couple of TBSP's in the bottom of your favourite jars to form your base.
- For the chia pudding, mix all the pudding ingredients together in a bowl and let sit over night or for at least an hour.
- Layer chia pudding over peanut butter base, add sliced banana, cacao nibs and buckwheat groats.
- Add another layer of chia pudding and top with extra cacao bins and buckwheat groats.
- You can make as many layers as you like.
Mmmmm I can’t wait to make this! How many servings does the recipe make?
It’s hard to say, it really depends on the size of the jars you use and how you layer it. For me it made two of those little jars but I think I had a little bit of the peanut butter mixture left over that I used on other things. I think two servings sounds about right though 🙂
