Little Snacktivists - Banana Chia Bread (So Easy 2-Yr Olds Can Make It!)

This recipe for Banana Chia Bread is super delish and simple to make. I have adapted the recipe over the years from a basic banana bread to a healthier version. It's kind of like my hair color, I am not quite sure of the original version, but am happy with the new results!  

NOTE: We used eggs in this version SO IT IS NOT VEGAN. Vegan version we recommend removing eggs from recipe (the applesauce, bananas and chia seeds will do the trick)!
