Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ teaspoons chia seeds
- ¼ cup water
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350’F and line mini-muffin pan(s) with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
- In a measuring cup combine the chia seeds and the water. Stir vigorously then let sit for 10-15 minutes, until a gel forms.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in the chia mixture, banana and eggs.
