Banana, Date & Tahini Loaf

Banana, date and tahini are a marriage made in heaven and they create a super moist, delicious loaf. There is no added sugar in this bake - the sweetness all comes from the bananas and the dates, so it's much more likely to keep your blood sugar balanced than an ordinary banana loaf.


To make it a bit more of a treat, you can add the tahini and coconut sugar sauce - it's good.



10 slices

1 hour 15


Ingredients


75g (1/3 cup) coconut oil, melted

150g (1/2 cup) tahini

2 eggs

4 very ripe bananas, mashed

60ml (1/4 cup) milk of your choice

2 tsp vanilla extract

225g oat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tsp cinnamon

Handful walnuts, chopped

10 dates, chopped


Optional sauce:

2 tbs tahini

2 tbs coconut sugar

3 tbs water


 

Method for Banana, Date & Tahini Loaf


Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees C.


In a large bowl beat the coconut oil, tahini and eggs together. Stir in the mashed banana, vanilla extract and milk.


Then stir in the dry ingredients - the oat flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon. Take care not to over mix.


Finally, fold in the walnuts and dates.


Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf tray and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.


If you'd like to make the sauce, simply simmer the tahini, coconut sugar and water over a low heat until you have a caramel consistency. Drizzle this over a slice of the loaf and enjoy!
