Ingredients

2 large (about 180g/6¼oz) ripe bananas
75ml (2½ fl oz) coconut oil, melted
120ml (4 fl oz/½ cup) maple syrup
1tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
50ml (1¾ fl oz/ 3tbsp) oat milk
220g (7½ oz/1¾ cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
¼ tsp sea salt
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1 tbsp matcha
1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Essential kit

A 450g/1lb loaf tin.

Method

Preheat the oven to 170°C fan (375°F) and line a 450g/1lb loaf tin with baking parchment.

Mash the bananas in a bowl, then add the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, eggs and milk, and whisk together. Sift in the flour, salt and bicarb, and fold to combine.

Divide the batter between two bowls. Sift the matcha into one and stir, and stir the tahini into the other.

Dollop the two mixtures into the prepared loaf tin, alternating between the two, and swirl with a fork. Top with the sesame seeds, then bake for 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Allow to cool on a wire rack, then cut into slices. This will keep for one week stored in an airtight container.
