Sliced choc chip banana bread, made with Nature's Heart chia seeds

Chia Seed Choc Chip Banana Bread

Feeds 10 | Preparation time 55 minutes

What to do:

1. Preheat the oven to 160Fan/180ºC and line a 9x5-inch loaf tin with parchment paper.

2. To make the banana bread: mash the bananas well and add to a mixing bowl with the milk, sugar, oil, syrup, vanilla and chia seeds and whisk to combine. Sift in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon and add the salt. Whisk to a smooth batter. Fold in the chocolate chips, walnuts and dark chocolate bananas.

3. To bake: pour into the loaf tin and smooth over the top. Slice the banana in half lengthways and lay on top of the batter. Brush the banana with the olive, to help it caramelise. Bake for 43-35 minutes, or until well-risen and golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean.

4. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes then lift out to cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Slice to serve and enjoy straight away or keep in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-5 days. You can also freeze the loaf for 1 month, wrapped well, and allow to defrost before eating.
