Tahini Banana Bread {coconut flour}

Apr 7, 2023 (updated Jun 1, 2025) (10 Comments)

Tahini Banana Bread {coconut flour}

I've never baked with tahini before so I wasn't sure what to expect, and didn't think much of it other than I had some tahini and some ripe bananas.

I decided to use coconut flour so I could have a nut free version of banana bread when I didn't have almond flour or wanted to keep things lighter. This recipe surprised me in a really good way.

It has a nice mild caramel flavor with a hint of banana. It's light, a bit springy, but not at all spongy, which can happen when a recipe relies too much on eggs to hold things together. It also has a nice sesame seed crust on the outside, which it totally optional, but recommended.

For tahini, I only use tahini made of just toasted sesame seed, with no additives. The two brands I've used lately are Once Again Creamy Tahini and Villa Jerada.

If you're following SCD or haven't had tahini before, you'll have to judge if and when you can try it. Seeds can be tricky so you can start out with just the tahini and oil the bread pan without adding the seeds. To make it even more low-carb (Keto), swap the maple syrup for sugar-free maple syrup. Enjoy!

    I am really unsure about trying this - I don't really like Tahini. How does it taste?

      Hi Kentin, The bread does not taste like tahini, if that's a concern. It's sweet but not too sweet, and has a hint of banana. Hope that helps!

      If you prefer, you can replace the tahini with the same amount of peanut butter, almond butter, or other nut butter.

    Iโ€™m making this this weekend! Iโ€™m so excited! Iโ€™m considering adding collagen peptides to increase protein, do you think that could cause a problem?

      Hi Shauna! I'm not sure what will happen but if it makes the batter too dry you might need to add less coconut flour.

    How many eggs contains the recipe? My child is allergic to eggs.

      Hi Anna, it's 3 eggs, and I'm testing it with 3 flaxseed eggs now so will report back soon.
