For the Base
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup tahini
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, and stir until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with chopped walnuts and brown sugar if desired.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
