Vegan Banana Chia Bread

Vegan Banana Chia  Bread

My gorgeous vegan banana bread from my award-winning plant-based cookbook Earth To Tableis filled with the goodness of oats and omega 3 rich chia seeds. I have frosted mine with coconut yoghurt but it's equally delicious with a dollop of Greek yoghurt or just served on its own with an almond milk latte.
