In a medium bowl put your chia, eggs, honey, oil, milk and banana, whisk well and set aside. For 5 minutes for the chia to absorb some liquid.

In a loaf tin grease or line and then put your sliced pear along the bottom and drizzle over 1 tbsp honey ( opt) then add your bread mix, make sure the top is even.
