Add mixture to a large bowl and fold in chia seeds, raspberries and chocolate chips.

Pour mixture into a greased bread pan (9×5) and bake for 55-60 minutes.*

Once bread is cooked through, let cool on a cooling rack.

In a double boiler or in the microwave, mix together chocolate chips and almond milk until melted.

Add both the raspberry mixture and melted chocolate on top of the banana bread in any design you would like! Cut and enjoy!

Notes
I baked my banana bread in one 8x8 brownie pan for 60 minutes, so time may range depending on the size of the bread pan.
