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.
