All the goodness of banana bread plus that delicious nutty flavor from the tahini! #bananabread #tahini #chocolateLast week I shared with you guys that we put an offer on a condo in Boston and asked for your good vibes. It all happened VERY quickly and VERY unexpectedly but it felt right so we went for it. Well, I’m excited to share that our offer was accepted!!! Insert all the champagne bottle and celebration emojis here.

Our planned closing date is May 27, which will be here like tomorrow. I kind of have all the feels right now because I’m super excited for this next chapter of our lives and also I’m experiencing some waves of grieving the chapter we’re about to close. We’ve been in our current apartment for 4.5 years now and so much has happened while we lived there – an engagement, a marriage, and so many travels. There is a feeling of leaving that part of our lives behind while we enter a new phase. I wonder if other people go through this when they buy their first home?chocolate chip tahini banana breadAnyways I’m excited to share updates along the way and eventually (hopefully if all goes well!) an intro to our new place! Until then, I will be eating lots of this banana bread I’m sharing with you today. Because mortgages and loans and inspections and attorneys are stressful and banana bread provides me comfort :).

You guys are going to LOVE this recipe. I’ve been on a tahini baking kick ever since my BOMB chocolate chip tahini cookies. It’s deliciously nutty and is packed with healthy fats. Win, win in my book. I used white whole-wheat flour, which has the benefits of added fiber with a more mild taste. Andddd I added chocolate chips because banana + chocolate + tahini is AMAZE. banana bread with tahini and chocolateBanana bread is so easy to whip up quickly in one bowl that I’ll be hoarding bananas to ripen from now and until forever. No joke, for my last recipe test, I had to hide bananas in the cupboard so my husband and I wouldn’t eat them and they would ripen lol.tahini banana breadThis banana bread is perfect as is but put a slice in the toaster with some butter and dammmmn. Literally have eaten this bread morning, noon and night. For breakfast, snack, and dessert. Also just ate a slice 5 minutes ago because these images were making me hungry :).chocolate chip tahini banana bread

    I thought I would give you a shout out that I made this recipe and my husband declared it the best banana bread recipe he ever ate, which is high praise as I bake often also. I found your recipe through the lose it app. It is delicious. I am not sure if I should bake it again as my husband has practically finished the loaf:) Thank you and happy baking.

    • Hey Diane – this makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for sharing. Maybe next time you make two loaves – one for you and one for your husband ;).

    Hi, I made this yesterday and it was delicious. I cut back on the sugars since bananas are naturally sweet. But the addition of the tahini made it so yummy. Thank you!

    What is tahini?

    • It’s sesame seed paste – you can find it in most grocery stores. Often used in Middle Eastern cooking.

    could i sub.almond flour for whole wheat flour and possibly add zuccini instead of chocolate pcs.

  5. could you replace the sugar with applesauce instead and replace the eggs with Flax eggs or chia eggs? Thanks

    • You should be able to substitute flax eggs for regular eggs. And you can replace the sugar with applesauce but then you’ll want to reduce the almond milk because you’ll be adding more moisture into the bread. Feel free to report back after you try it!

    Hi! Could you swap the coconut oil and tahini amounts with success?
