I really enjoyed this recipe

When I made this Black Sesame Banana Bread for the first time it was a big hit as I never expected the taste to be so bold! The black sesame gave it such a beautiful look and a deep, nutty flavour. If you love banana bread like I do you’ll definitely want to make this again and again. I usually don’t enjoy overly sweet banana bread because bananas already have natural sweetness. But in this version I added both white and coconut sugar, thinking the black sesame might make it taste bitter. After baking it I realized the banana and sesame balance each other so well that you don’t really need much sugar at all. If you’re someone who doesn’t like things too sweet you can skip the sugar entirely. This bread is a must-try at least once—you might just fall in love with it!

Lets make it together…
