This tahini flax banana bread is my new favorite banana bread! If you’ve never tried tahini in a sweet recipe or baked good before…now is the time to try! I discovered tahini is absolutely delicious paired with bananas. BUT if tahini is too out there for you, never fear you can absolutely sub butter it’s in place. 😊 This bread has been tested for so many options and preferences! It is naturally gluten-free, whole-grain, and nut-free. I also tested a vegan version using flax eggs. This bread is so simple to make and is a yummy option to have on hand for breakfasts and snacks!
