Chocolate Tahini Banana Bread

Classic banana bread meets fudgy brownies in this deliciously good recipe.

Raw cacao and dairy-free chocolate chips combine to pack a double punch of chocolate flavor that will have you wondering if you accidentally just whipped up a batch of brownies instead of banana bread. The addition of tahini to this loaf adds a velvety texture and nutty flavor that works great with the burst of chocolate and banana flavors.

When it comes to choosing your bananas – the riper, the better. This is the perfect recipe to save those sad, brown bananas from the ending up in the compost bin. I like to mash my bananas well, but if you love those little surprise bites of banana, feel free to leave it just a bit chunky.
