"It’s easy to understand why banana bread is so universally loved; When done right, the texture has an inviting richness, with a smooth banana taste throughout. It begs you to take the next bite. The tahini in this recipe adds an earthy depth to the banana bread, which I absolutely adore. It’s hearty. It’s flavorful. It’s well balanced on the sweet/unsweet scale."

ingredients
- 4 bananas
- 1/4 cup well stirred tahini
- 1/4 coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons oat milk (or any milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 chocolate chips
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a loaf pan with neutral oil.
Step 2
Mash 3 very ripe bananas against the side of a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl: tahini, coconut oil, oat milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar.
Step 3
Mix thoroughly. I always make sure to leave some lumps of banana, because that’s how I prefer it, but you can use a mixer if you prefer a smoother textured bread.
Step 4
Add the cinnamon, salt and baking soda and stir gently.
Step 5
Slowly add the flour, and continue to stir gently until it is fully combined.
Step 6
Add the chocolate chips (optional) and give it one final mix. Pour into your prepared loaf pan.
Step 7
Slice the 4th banana in half lengthwise. Place each half on the top of the bread before baking.
Step 8
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
