Ingredients
- 3 3 medium bananas (1 ¼ cups)
- 2 2 large eggs
- ¾ ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ ½ cup butter melted
- ½ ½ cup Tahini at room temperature
- 1 ½ 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 2 tablespoons EACH: white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a loaf pan (See notes.) Mash the bananas in a large bowl then whisk in the eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, and tahini.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and sesame seeds.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently just until combined - do not overmix!
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Bake the banana bread for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check it after 45 minutes and if the top is browning too quickly, tent it with foil. Let the banana bread cool for 10 minutes then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing it.

Notes
- Most of our banana bread recipes call for a 9x5 inch loaf pan, but this one can be made in a 9x5 (like in the pictures) or in an 8x4.
