Vegan Tahini Banana Bread

Ingredients:

3 medium bananas (ripe and dark)

1/3 cup (80 g) TAHINI (sesame paste), just make sure the paste is fresh and not too dry

1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup

3 tablespoons (40 g) coconut sugar

2 tablespoons (15 g) ground flaxseed

2 tablespoons (30 ml) almond milk

2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

1 ¼ (150 g) cup spelt flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 – 3/4 cup (90-135 g) chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 175 °C.
2. Place the peeled bananas in a large bowl and mash until smooth (with a few chunks left).
3. Then add the liquid ingredients to the bowl with the bananas: TAHINI, maple syrup, coconut sugar, flaxseed, almond milk, and vanilla paste (or extract). Mix everything well.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the spelt flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until you have a stiff dough. Add about 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips (if using); use a spatula to fold them into the dough.
5. Grease a small baking dish and pour the batter into it. Use a spatula to smooth the batter. If using chocolate chips, sprinkle another 1/4 cup on top of the bread.
6. Place the banana bread in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes (until cooked through and the top is browned). Remove from the oven and let cool. Enjoy!
