Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup thoroughly mashed ripe banana (about 3 small or 2 large spotted bananas)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup tahini, well-stirred (such as Soom Foods brand)
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 Tbsp. melted and cooled butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Maple Glaze (optional)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. milk of choice
  • 2 tsp. melted butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper, and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
    In a large bowl, combine mashed banana, eggs, tahini, molasses, maple syrup, butter or oil, and vanilla; whisk well to combine.
  • Add almond flour, oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined.
    Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake loaf for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Remove loaf from pan and let cool completely (at least 1 to 2 hours).
  • Fo the Maple Glaze, whisk the ingredients together in a medium bowl and drizzle over the cooled bread. (If you prefer extra glaze for serving, you can easily double the recipe!)
