Instructions:

1. Prepare the pudding:

   • In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, peanut butter, milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly so that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

2. Mix well:

   • If the peanut butter is thick, you can whisk or use a hand mixer to smooth it out and ensure there are no lumps.

3. Refrigerate:

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture into a creamy pudding.

4. Serve and enjoy:

   • Once the pudding is set, stir it and taste to check for sweetness. Adjust if necessary.
   • Top with sliced bananas, chopped nuts, a little extra peanut butter, or any other toppings you like.
   • Serve in bowls or jars, and enjoy your creamy peanut butter chia pudding!
