    Preheat oven to 180ºC and line a loaf tin with baking parchment and pour the mixture in

    Decorate the top with slices of excess banana and drizzle over the other ½ tablespoon of maple syrup to make a gloss

    Cool on a rack completely before turning out of the tin, slicing and eating

  • Chia Berry Jam:

  • 1.

    Mash the berries or blend them in a food processor.

  • 2.

    Mix in the chia seeds,1 tbsp warm water and 1 teaspoon of the honey (and the vanilla extract and lemon juice, if using). Stir well to stop clumps forming or make it straight in the jar and shake to mix.

    Keep the chia jam sealed in a jar in the fridge to set for at least an hour or until needed.

  • 4.

    Taste and stir in a little more honey, if needed.

I've just made this in my thermomix (after making coconut flour from some desiccated coconut) and the mixture tasted very similar to normal cake mixture - rich & creamy due to all the eggs. I used coconut sugar instead of maple syrup as that's all I have in the cupboard. The cooked loaf is absolutely delicious. I did reduce the baking soda slightly just to make sure there would be no strong baking soda taste although that's just my preference - I'm sure the amount in the recipe is good. I will make this often, it is yummy, healthy & simple.

Oh no! I'm sad about the other review because mine is currently cooking??. I'm also doing the chia berry jam but with blackberries. Any idea if the jam will keep?

I watched the making of cinnamon banana bread on TV and took down the recipe. Before baking I checked this website and note that the recipe is different to the show. I double checked by again watching the live show here on the website. I made the cinnamon banana bread and can report that it was awful. I will delete my recipe and look for something else. Suggest you ensure that the recipe is correct
