This melt in your mouth tahini banana bread is gluten-free, easy to make, and the perfect way to use up your spotty bananas.

Tahini Banana Bread
Banana bread just got an upgrade with one of my all time favorite ingredients- tahini! Tahini is probably one of my top 5 pantry staples, because there’s truly nothing it can’t do.
I’ve used it in cookies, salad dressings, and even stiry-fry, and it never fails me. The tahini in this gluten-free banana bread adds the most delicious nutty flavor, and takes this banana bread to a whole new level.

Nothing beats a warm slice of banana bread off the morning with your cup of coffee. I love serving this with a light layer or butter to truly bring the flavors together.
It’s gluten-free and can even be made dairy-free by using a plant-based butter. It’s also kosher for passover!

How to store your banana bread
This banana bread is freezer friendly, so can be prepared and stored in the freezer, fridge or on the counter.

Oh wow, amazing banana bread! I saw the video on Instagram and since I still had Tahini at home because I made hummus, plus 2 overripe bananas that really had to go, I thought – let’s do this!
I made the version with oat flour (I ground rolled oats in a blender) and left out the coconut sugar. I’m in love. I’ve never eaten or made banana bread but I will remake this many, many times I’m sure!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
