Black Sesame Banana Bread

Name: Black Sesame Banana Bread
Cook time: 70 min
Ingredients: 3 ripe/brown bananas (around 340-360g); 210 g all-purpose flour (1 2/3 cups); 1 tsp baking soda; 0.5 tsp baking powder; 0.5 tsp cinnamon; 1 g salt; 150 g sugar (3/4 cup); 50 g brown sugar (1/4 cup); 2 eggs (large); 70 g vegetable oil (1/3 cup); 50 g tahini; 30 g greek yogurt; 60 g black sesame paste; turbinado sugar (optional); @maldonsalt (optional)

Here’s how I made it (adapted from flour’s recipe):

Ingredients

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and line with parchment a 9x5in loaf pan. Peel and mash the bananas.
2
In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the eggs and sugar for 3-5 minutes til light, airy, and pale yellow (2-3x volume).
3
Mix oil, tahini, and yogurt together in a cup and stream into egg mix while whipping. Stop whipping with mixer and mix in bananas with a whisk/spatula.
4
Add the dry ingredients and mix til just combined.
5
Portion out a small amount (1/5th - doesn’t need to be exact) of the batter into a separate bowl and mix in the black sesame paste. Add the black sesame mixture back to the rest of the batter. I like to do a few folds (2-4 turns total) to combine yet keep the marbling. Mixing too much can lead to a mostly black loaf, so lean towards less mixing.
6
Pour the batter into a loaf pan. Optional (recommended): top with turbinado sugar til mostly covered and then sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt. Orange zest also goes great too.
7
Bake for 1hr -1hr 10 mins or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for about an hr and serve.
