    This is the easiest tastiest banana bread i have made. I used chia seeds instead of hemp seeds (only cause that’s what I had). so quick so easy and so light.

    Hi there, is olive oil healthier to use instead of butter in your banana bread recipe? Also, can I add flax meal?

      Hi Archana, you could use a “chia” egg stead. This can be made by mixing 1 tbs of chia seeds with 3 tbs of water and letting soak for 5 minutes 🙂
