  • 1 tspvanilla extract
  • 1/3 cuptahini paste

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9X5 loaf tin and sprinkle the two extra tablespoons of sesame seeds evenly on the inside.
  2. Make the swirl first -Mix the swirl ingredients together and set aside.
  3. Place the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a bowl and whisk together, to combine. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl mush the bananas well. Add in the sugar, tahini paste, maple syrup, melted butter, yogurt (or sour cream), vanilla and eggs and mix well. Using a whisk, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two stages. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour half of batter in the tin and then dollop half of the swirl on top. Gently swirl the tahini into the batter, then pour the rest of the batter on top and finish with the tahini swirl. Gently swirl the tahini horizontally on top of the cake.
  6. Place a sheet tray in the oven and place the banana bread on top of the tray (this helps with any spillage) in the pre-heated oven for 1 hour- 1 hour 15 minutes. If the banana bread is getting too dark, loosely tent with tin foil to stop it from browning. Test with a toothpick or knife to see if it’s wet in the middle. When the toothpick comes out clean it’s done.
  7. Delicious on its own, but schmear this Maple Tahini Swirl Banana Bread with butter and drizzle some maple syrup and a sprinkle of sea salt – pure perfection.
