Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 small dates (NOTE 1)
  • 2 medium bananas (NOTE 2)
  • 400 ml canned coconut milk (NOTE 3)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (NOTE 4)
  • 1-3 tbsp Water (if needed)

Instructions
 

  • Place the dates In a small bowl, pour boiling water to cover the dates and leave for 10 minutes to soften.
  • Drain the water from the dates and transfer it into a blender or food processor. Add the put banana and coconut milk with the dates and blend well. It is normal for the mixture to look thin as it'll thicken once cooked when the chia seeds are added in.
  • Pour the mixture from the blender into a small saucepan. On medium heat bring the mixture to a boil making sure to stir continuously to prevent it from burning. Once the mixture starts bubbling lower the heat and cook for a further 2 minutes.

  • Let it cool off for 5 minutes then add the chia seeds and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seed to thicken the pudding. After this time if the pudding is too thick add water one tablespoon at a time and stir until you get the right consistency for your baby.

Notes

NOTE 1 - Dates - Fresh or dried dates can be used.
NOTE 2 - Bananas - If possible use riped bananas as they have more flavour and are easier to mash up.
NOTE 3 - Coconut milk - I used regular coconut milk as it contains more nutrients than light coconut milk.
NOTE 4 - Chia seeds - White or black chia seeds can be used. Pudding will last 3 days if kept in the fridge, let puree cool completely at room temperature and place the puree in a sealed container.
STORAGE - first allow the pudding to cool completely at room temperature. Transfer the pudding in a covered container and store it in the fridge, it'll keep for 3 days. When frozen it will keep for up to 2 months.
