Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups mashed banana (about 3 bananas)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 6 oz bittersweet chocolate roughly chopped

For the glaze

  • 2 oz bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 tsp extra virgin coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ½ tsp flaky sea salt
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, line with a parchment sling, spray the parchment, and set it aside.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the banana, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, tahini, and melted butter. Mix together until well combined and smooth.
    1 ½ cups mashed banana (about 3 bananas), ¾ cup light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ cup tahini, 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • Add the dry ingredients: Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until just a few dry streaks remain. Add the chocolate and fold together. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread to make an even layer.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp baking soda, 6 oz bittersweet chocolate
  • Bake in the preheated 350°F oven until a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out mostly clean, 60-75 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack for 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. Add the tahini and honey, and stir until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly and thicken, 10-15 minutes in the fridge. Stir until the desired consistency.
    2 oz bittersweet chocolate, 1 tsp extra virgin coconut oil, 1 tbsp tahini, 1 tsp honey
  • Glaze: Once the banana bread has cooled fully, pour the glaze over the top. Add the flaky salt and the sesame seeds and serve.
    2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional), ½ tsp flaky sea salt
