Peel the bananas and add them to a blender.
Pour in the coconut milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the banana-coconut mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Whisk the chia seeds into the mixture until they are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
Once the pudding is set, give it a good stir to ensure even consistency.
Spoon the pudding into serving glasses or bowls.
Top each serving with shredded coconut and banana slices for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
