Rezept
This version of the bananabread is based on the non-vegan version (which contains eggs from very happy hens). The egg was substituted with a mixture of soaked chia and (ground) flax seeds and some additional baking powder. So far this worked really great! No need to make the non-vegan banana bread anymore. 😉
Prepping the bananabread itself is pretty straight forward and quickly done. We like to soak the seeds a bit in advance so they really have been soaked through. If you’re in a bit of a rush though, use hot water for soaking; it works a bit quicker. If you soak them right at the beginning and add them last before baking, you’ll be just fine!

- dough scraper
- small pot (or mug for the microwave)
- oven

Zubereitung
First soak the chia and ground flax seeds with (warm) water and put them aside. After about five minutes stirr the mixture to avoid lumps within. Now set the seeds aside and let them soak for at least another 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven on 180°C or 350°C with fan if possible).
Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon and sieved baking powder in the large bowl. Set aside.
Melt the margarine in a small pot (we use an oven-safe pot and put it in the oven to melt the margarine).
Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork on the plate.
Now bring all ingredients together: add the banana-mash, the melted margarine and the soaked seeds to the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Gently mix it all together.
Put the dough into the baking tray and spread it evenly.
Now bake the banana bread!
After about 25min is when we check for the first time how the banana bread is doing with a wooden stick. It usually takes about 35min. You’ll see: if there is no dough left on the wooden stick, it’s ready!
Let it cool down about before serving.
*If necessary grease the baking tray in advance. We use Trennspray for that.
