- 75 g coconut oil
- 30 g Honey (use about 75g if your bananas are only a little bit brown)
- 1 tbsp vinegar white wine or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp natron (baking soda)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (can be substituted for 1 egg)

- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- chocolate chips, berries, nuts or other optional add-ins
- 1 banana for garnish
How to
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a small bowl combine the chia seeds with the water and let sit for about 5 minute to make the "chia egg". In another bowl combine the vinegar with natron.
Take a bowl or a food processor and mash or blend the bananas until very mushy. Add in the molten coconut oil, the chia egg, honey or agave, and apple cider vinegar mix. Blend/ mix again until all combined.
Mix the flour with the cinnamon and baking powder. Fold it under the banana mash mixture. If you have any add-ins (e.g. chocolate chips, nuts, berries) fold them in now.
Transfer the mixture to a loafpan lined with parchment paper. Cut the extra banana in half, lengthwise and add it on top. Sprinkle with some cinnamon and/ or brown sugar and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes. After the baking time piek through with a toothpick. If nother sticks to it, the bread is done. If there still is some dough sticking to it, it needs more time in the oven.
Take it out, let it cool down and cut into 12 slices. Serve each slices with some almond butter, fresh banana, and a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar
