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
- ½ – ¾ 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.
