- 3 ripe bananas, mashed - 1/2 cup tahini - 1/2 cup brown sugar - 1/4 cup maple syrup - 2 large eggs These essential ingredients form the base of the Chocolate Tahini Banana Bread. The ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture. Tahini brings a creamy texture and nutty flavor. Brown sugar and maple syrup enhance the sweetness while giving depth. The eggs help bind everything together, creating a rich and tender loaf. - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Next, we have the dry ingredients. Baking soda and baking powder work together to make the bread rise. Salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors. All-purpose flour gives the bread structure while keeping it soft and fluffy. - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1/4 cup chopped walnuts For extra flavor and texture, consider these optional add-ins. Chocolate chips melt into gooey pockets of goodness. Walnuts add a nice crunch and nutty taste. You can mix and match based on your mood or pantry. For the full recipe, check the section titled Full Recipe. - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. First, I always preheat my oven. This step helps the bread bake evenly. While the oven warms up, I prepare my loaf pan. Greasing it or using parchment paper makes for easy removal later. - Combine mashed bananas and tahini. - Whisk in brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Next, I take my ripe bananas and mash them well in a large bowl. I add tahini to the bananas. Mixing them creates a creamy base. Then, I whisk in brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. This mixture adds sweetness and flavor. It’s important to blend until everything is smooth. - Combine dry ingredients and fold into wet mixture. - Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. In a separate bowl, I mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. I gently fold this dry mix into my wet mixture. I make sure not to overmix, as this keeps the bread fluffy. After that, I pour the batter into the loaf pan. I smooth the top with a spatula. Finally, I bake it for 50-60 minutes. I check with a toothpick; it should come out clean. Once it's done, I let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then, I transfer it to a wire rack. For the full recipe, check the details above. - Use very ripe bananas for sweetness and moisture. The browner, the better! - Avoid overmixing the batter. This keeps the bread fluffy and light. When bananas are ripe, they become sweeter and softer. This adds the perfect flavor to your bread. Overmixing can make the bread tough, so mix just until combined. - Drizzle some extra tahini on top before serving. It adds richness and flavor. - Pair with fresh fruit for added color and nutrition. Berries or sliced apples work great. Drizzling tahini over the warm bread enhances its taste and makes it look great. Fresh fruit not only looks good but also adds vitamins and fiber. - Store your banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature. It keeps the bread fresh. - You can freeze it for later enjoyment. Just slice it first for easy thawing. Keeping the bread in an airtight container prevents it from drying out. When freezing, slice it so you can enjoy a piece whenever you want. {{image_2}} You can easily tweak this recipe to suit your taste. Adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg gives the bread a warm and cozy flavor. These spices pair well with the sweet bananas and rich tahini. If you want a different texture, swap out the chocolate chips for dried fruit or nuts. Dried cranberries or almonds can add a nice twist to your banana bread. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, simply use gluten-free flour. It works just as well and keeps the bread soft. For sweetness, you can swap maple syrup with honey or agave nectar. Both options will give your bread a unique flavor while keeping it moist. Want to make this recipe vegan? No problem! Replace the eggs with flax eggs. To make a flax egg, mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. This simple swap keeps the bread just as tasty!
