Step 1

Start by preheating your oven 320F / 160C and then to get started, put your chia seeds into a bowl or measuring jug and combining with the water.  Give them a good stir, and then set aside for 10 minutes or until the chia has formed into a gel, by absorbing all of the water.  It may need stirring a couple of times.

Step 2

Then in a large mixing bowl, mix the chia gel with the rice malt syrup, oil, and mashed banana.

Step 3

Then stir through the flour and baking powder

Step 4

And all that’s left then is to pour this into a baking / loaf tin and bake for around 45 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and golden on top.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and allow to cool (although like me, you’ll probably dig in while it’s still warm!)
