Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 3 Mashed ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup Vegan butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons Water
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Prepare the Chia Egg

In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and water. Stir well and let it sit for at least 5 minutes, or until it forms a gel-like consistency. This is your chia egg, which will act as a binder in the banana bread.

Preheat and Prepare Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas well. Add the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, chia egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake the Banana Bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
