vegan chia banana bread

I did some baking and decided to do banana bread. It's a typical food in australia and tastes so yummy when served toasted and topped with maple syrup.

I added chia seeds because they are wonderful for vegan baking. Chia is an excellent binder, thickener and can substitute eggs.
