Chia Spiced Banana Bread

A cosy slice of banana bread, infused with warming chai spices, made gluten-free and gently sweetened the natural way.

GLUTEN-FREE | REFINED SUGAR FREE

Give your banana bread a nourishing twist with an organic chia powder - a cosy blend of cinnamon, ginger and cardamom designed to gently support digestion, circulation and balanced blood sugar.

This gluten-free loaf is beautifully soft and moist, naturally sweetened with maple syrup and studded with rich dark chocolate throughout. Finsihed with a delecate chai glaze, its a simple yet elevated take on a much-loved classic.
