Banana Bread - Egg Free, Sugar Free, Fat Free (Vegan) Very healthy version



This is egg-free, sugar-free, fat-free banana bread. The loaf will stick together using chia seeds and oats to bind. You can add honey or maple syrup to taste, but I like to leave out the extra sugar because the cinnamon and bananas give it a natural sweetness.

Ingredients

4 bananas
4 tablespoons chia seed
2 teaspoons cinnamon
200 ml low-fat milk
2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup oats

You can also sprinkle the loaf with desiccated coconut, or layer extra banana on top.

Method

Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees Celcius.
Mash the bananas and add the chia seeds & cinnamon.
Add the low-fat milk and mix it together. 
Add the oats and flour and mix them together.
Transfer to a loaf tin lined with baking paper.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until browned.
Remove from oven and cool slightly.
Remove from pan, and slice into 8 slices.
