Ingredients

Scale

For the bread:

  • 3 Bananas 
  • 1/2 cup Coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup
  • 2 Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer eggs*
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract 
  • 3/4 cup Almond flour
  • 1 cup. Flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. Tahini
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt

For tahini swirl:

  • 2 Tbsp. Black tahini
  • 1 Tbsp. Coconut oil, melted
  • 1 Tbsp. Tahini
  • 2 Tbsp. Maple syrup

Topping:

  • 2 Tbsp. Black sesame seeds for sprinkling 

 


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. Combine 2 Tbsp egg replacer with 4 Tbsp. water and set aside for 5 minutes. 
  3. Mash bananas with a fork, add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, tahini, and coconut sugar.
  4. Add in flour, almond flour, salt, and baking soda.
  5. Transfer batter to a lightly greased cast iron pan*
  6. In a separate bowl combine the ingredients for the tahini swirl: black tahini, melted coconut oil, tahini, maple syrup, and stir. 
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the tahini mixture over the bread batter. Then using a knife, cut into the tahini and drag it through the batter to create a swirl effect.
  8. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and place the bread into the oven.
  9. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 
  10. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. 

Notes

* If you don’t have an egg replacer, you can use ground flaxseeds. Mix 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds with  4 Tbsp water and set aside until thick, about 5 minutes. 

*If you don’t have a cast-iron fee free to bake in a standard loaf pan. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
