Ingredient Notes and Substitutes

Coconut milk: I use full fat coconut milk. If you are going to use coconut cream instead of milk, reduce the volume to 200 millilitres (half a can) and increase the water to 1 cup of water.
Chia seeds: White or black chia seeds are fine
Honey: warming the honey will make it easier to stir it into the pudding.

How to make coconut chia seed pudding for babies

If you wish to use this recipe for babies under one year of age, please use maple syrup to sweeten the pudding not honey. Honey should not be served to infants under one year of age.
