Banana bread is a great way to ensure that bananas that are becoming over ripe and that your family won't eat. This vegan version uses chia, or flax seed meal, mixed with water in place of eggs. Cook's Note: If your family doesn't like certain textures, I recommend using the flax seed meal eggs. If you prefer to make muffins, divide the batter evenly among 12 cups in a muffin tin and reduce baking time to about 20 minutes. Total cost for this recipe is $1.54 or about about 13 cents per slice of bread.
