Directions

15 mins to prep

5 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    For the chia pudding, place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Divide evenly between 4 glasses and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.*

  2. Step 2

    For the buckwheat topping, place the groats in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Roast for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden in colour. Add the hazelnuts and warm through for a further minute, then add the sugar and maple syrup, stirring to coat the nutty mixture.

  3. Step 3

    Remove this mixture from heat, stir through the cacao nibs and pour onto a sheet of baking paper to cool. Break up any larger chunks.

  4. Step 4

    Serve the chia puddings topped with an extra dollop of vanilla coconut yoghurt, banana slices, and a sprinkling of the maple buckwheat crunch.

Variation

Top with a hit of orange zest for an extra flavour lift!

Hot tip!

*If you’re not fussed about having your chia pudding cold (or you’re simply not that patient, which is also fine), it tastes delicious at room temp, too! It just needs a good 15 minutes or so to soak up some liquid and become a healthier, super digestible pudding.
