Tahini Banana Bread
Tahini Banana Bread blends oat and almond flours with ripe banana and tahini for a moist, dense loaf enriched by nutty and slightly bitter notes of tahini. Sweetened with maple syrup and browned with chocolate chunks on top, this bread has added texture and bursts of rich flavor. It’s finished with sliced banana halves and sesame seeds for a distinctive appearance. Baked until just set, it offers a satisfying snack or breakfast option.

Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ cup tahini well-stirred
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup almond milk unsweetened
- ½ cup banana not overly ripe, sliced in half for topping, mashed ripe; plus 1 additional banana
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate plus more for topping, chopped
- sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract and mashed banana.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in chocolate chunks.
- Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan. Top with banana halves and sprinkle on extra chocolate and sesame seeds.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. It’s okay if it doesn’t come out fully clean as the bread will continue to bake in pan. Check at 30-40 min and cover with tin foil to help the top from browning too much.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
