1 In a large bowl, make the flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed with water. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.

Pour batter into the loaf pan and slice the extra banana in half lengthwise and place on top (optional). Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until toothpick or knife comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes then carefully remove the bread and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
