Tahini & Chocolate Quick Bread

Bake this quick bread before the camping trip and you have a great hiking snack, a before bed snack or a yum breakfast slice with some hot chocolate or coffee.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas, unpeeled (they can be frozen, just use them defrosted along with their liquid)
• ½ c. packed dark brown sugar
• ¼ c. avocado oil
• ¼ c. tahini
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• ½ c. all purpose flour
• ¼ c. cocoa
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• ½ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 c. crushed up sesame candy or 1 package (set aside 1 tbsp. for the topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Line a loaf tin with two pieces of parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal of the bread.
3. Set aside.

–

1. Using either a whisk or a hand mixer, blend together the bananas and the tahini.
2. Add in the oil, egg, sugar and vanilla. Mix to combine.

Next

1. Add the flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda and whisk or mix to combine.
2. Stir in the chocolate chips and the sesame candy.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet, smooth out the top and give the pan a tap on the counter to knock any air bubbles out.
4. Sprinkle the reserved sesame candy over the top.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a skewer comes out almost clean.

Cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack. Use the parchment sleeves to lift out of the tin. Wrap well for transport and slice on site when ready to eat and enjoy.
