Holiday or winter seasonal variation of banana bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup banana mashed ripe , about 2 large bananas
- ¼ cup molasses
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 2 eggs if vegan version desired use "flax eggs" instead which is 2 tablespoons ground flax seed + 4 tablespoons warm water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour blanched
- ½ cup flour use cassava flour if you want to make this gluten-free
- ⅓ cup oat flour
- 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
For the Maple Tahini Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons tahini
- 1 ½ teaspoons milk of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add mashed banana, molasses, maple syrup, oil/ghee, flax eggs and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top and place in the oven to bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the bread out of the pan and onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, maple syrup and tahini in a small bowl. Slowly add the milk while mixing until the mixture is thick yet spreadable. (*see note)
- Pour the glaze over the top of the cooled bread and spread out to the edges using a spatula. Let rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken before slicing and serving.
Notes
If you prefer a thinner glaze that will pour down the sides, add more milk until a drippy consistency results.
