Ingredients
Little funsies
- 1/2 ripe banana (we'll use total of 3 bananas for this recipe)

Dry ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 eggs (1/2 cup of apple sauce as an alternative)
- 2½ ripe bananas (mashed)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and coat the loaf pan with nonstick oil spray. Set aside. (I used coconut oil spray)
- Combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, combine butter and brown sugar. Mix until creamy.
- Add eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla extract (the rest of the wet ingredients). Mix until completely incorporated.
- Combine chia seeds and tea leaves (open the tea bag and mix in the leaves) into wet ingredient mixture.
- Gradually add dry ingredient mixture into wet ingredients and mix until there are no flour sockets.

- Once baked, make sure to stick a toothpick in the middle and see if it comes out clean.
