Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a 9\u00d75-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment.<\/p>

Whisk chia seeds and water in a small bowl. Let sit at least 5 min to create chia \u201ceggs.\u201d<\/p>

Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.<\/p>

In a large bowl, whisk oil and maple syrup. Add chia “eggs”, mashed bananas, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract, then whisk again. Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until combined\u2014some lumps are okay. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.<\/p>

Pour batter into greased loaf pan. Slice a banana lengthwise and lay it on top of batter. Bake 55\u201360 min, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 min, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 20 min before slicing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
