The name of the recipe is ‘Chia Tea Cake with Banana’, and unlike other types of cakes, our recipe is made of chia seeds which we normally do not find in cakes.
Despite their small size, chia seeds are full of nutrients, including Omega-3 fatty acids, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. They have a mild, nutty flavor and can be a good addition to a balanced diet. If your morning starts with a cup of tea or coffee, then you can accompany that cup of tea or coffee with this moist and crunchy cake. Chia seeds are a superfood, and are highly nutritious. Unlike usual cake recipes this one provides you with crunch and great flavors of spongy bananas.
