Ingredients for Banana and Tahini Bread recipe

While the specific measurements may vary depending on your preferences, here’s a general idea of what you’ll need to create this flavorful banana bread with a tahini twist:

• 3 ripe bananas (the riper, the better for sweetness)
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup melted butter or oil
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ cup tahini (adjust according to taste preference)

Instructions to make Tahini Banana Bread Recipe

1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
   • Begin by mashing the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
   • Add the sugar, eggs, melted butter or oil, and tahini, mixing until well combined. The tahini adds a rich, nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the bananas beautifully.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
   • If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for extra depth of flavor.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense bread.
4. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
   • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the Perfect Tahini Banana Bread:

• Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. This also helps to balance the richness of the tahini.
• Adjust Tahini to Taste: The amount of tahini can be adjusted based on your taste preference. Start with ½ cup and increase if you want a stronger tahini flavor.
• Add a Pinch of Spice: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
• Cool Before Slicing: Make sure to let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds together and the flavors fully develop.
