Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and coat a loaf pan with cooking spray and then parchment paper.
Place the date in a measuring cup and add ½ cup hot water. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mash the bananas with a fork.
After 10 minutes, blend the dates and water using an immersion blender.
Mix the eggs with the tahini and Greek yogurt. Add in the dates and mashed bananas and mix to combine.
Add in the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
Transfer to a loaf pan, top with sesame seeds and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
To ensure doneness, inset a toothpick in the middle of the bread and if it comes out clean, it's ready.
Let the bread cool for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use Ripe Bananas: Make sure the bananas are ripe but not mushy. underripe bananas will not work for this recipe.
Ensure Proper Date Blending: Soaking and blending the dates thoroughly ensures they integrate smoothly into the batter, providing natural sweetness without chunks.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf. Stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Check for Doneness: Baking times can vary. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil. Use the toothpick test to ensure the center is fully baked.
Let It Cool Completely: Cooling allows the bread to set properly, making it easier to slice without crumbling.
