🛒 Ingredients

✓ 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1.5 cups)
✓ 1 whole large egg + 3 tbsp aquafaba
✓ 3 tbsp light olive oil
✓ 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2%)
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 1 cup all-purpose flour
✓ 1/2 tsp baking soda
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
✓ 2 tbsp coconut sugar or cane sugar
✓ 3 tbsp tahini powder
✓ 1 tbsp warm water
✓ 1 tsp honey
✓ Pinch of fleur de sel for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil a small loaf tin (or line with parchment). Mash bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.

2. Blend Wet Base: Whisk together egg, aquafaba, olive oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla until smooth and emulsified. Fold into mashed bananas gently.

3. Make Tahini Swirl: In a small bowl, whisk tahini powder with warm water and honey until you reach a drizzling consistency. Should be pourable but slightly thick.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and coconut sugar. Sift if flour feels lumpy.

5. Fold Together: Pour dry mixture into wet banana mixture. Fold gently with a spatula 12–15 times until just combined—do not overmix. Small flour streaks are fine.

6. Swirl & Pour: Pour half the batter into prepared tin. Drizzle tahini mixture in a thin zigzag across top. Pour remaining batter and use a skewer to gently swirl tahini through 3–4 times.

7. Bake: Bake 32–35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Top should be golden.

8. Cool & Rest: Let cool in tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing (at least 30 minutes).
