Vegan Tahini Banana Bread

This Vegan Tahini Banana Bread is a delicious blend of ripe bananas and rich tahini, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. It’s easy to prepare and guilt-free!

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium bananas (ideally dark brown or at least spotty)
  • ⅓ cup tahini (make sure fresh and not dried out)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup spelt flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½¾ cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl, leaving some chunks for texture.
  • Combine tahini, maple syrup, coconut sugar, ground flaxseed, almond milk, and vanilla with the mashed bananas.
  • Sift together spelt flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick batter forms.
  • Grease a loaf pan and pour the batter in, smoothing it out.
  • Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool before slicing into about 8 pieces.

Notes

Ensure bananas are very ripe for sweetness and moisture.
Fresh tahini is best for optimal flavor; check the expiration date.
For denser bread, consider using whole wheat flour in place of spelt flour.
