Tahini Pistachio Banana Bread
{ NEW COOKING VIDEO }
I.love.banana.bread. There I said it. But the problem with most paleo banana breads out there include almond flour or almond butter. And almonds make me feel like dog crap. I bloat, I hurt, and it’s not a great environment for the people around me. So I stay away as much as possible. BUT I do great with tahini. Do you know what tahini is at this point? You better. It’s sesame seed paste. Can you imagine how many sesame seeds they have to grind up to make an entire jar of tahini? Mind blowing. Well I personally love tahini so I thought why not start to bake with it?! So that’s what I did. Being an adult is the best. Wait, what?
Anywho, this past weekend was pretty much the best. Here’s what I did –
- worked out
- ate food
- cleaned the house
- worked
- ate more food including an entire bag of addictive popcorn
- watched three movies
- worked more
- bought a nepresso machine
- got drunk off coffee
- ate more
I mean, do weekends get any better than that? Probably. Most people like to spend it with others but I prefer the comfort of my own house and pajamas. I think getting nice pajamas was a bad idea because I think I can just wear them all the time. And when I say nice, I mean just pajamas that aren’t my husbands old t-shirts. That look didn’t scream sexy for some reason so I stepped my game up. But back to the point here – nepresso is my new best friend. Their whole be-in-every-hotel-room-and-get-people-hooked marketing strategy is pretty genius because that’s what they did to me. They hooked me in my Montreal hotel room and I couldn’t wait to get one when I got home. And now I’m even more excited to wake up in the morning. I’ve always been that annoying person who woke up at 6am happy as a clam (whatever the hell that means) and now I’m even happier and perkier because I know I get to have my cup of nepresso. I’m fully addicted. It’s a problem.
But I must go for now. I have botox appointment to get to. Nespresso, botox, banana bread…what more do you need?!?

Ingredients
-
1/3 cup pistachios
-
3 brown bananas, mashed
-
1/4 cup maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
3 eggs
-
1/2 cup tahini
-
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon coconut flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon cardamom
-
pinch of salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place pistachios on a baking sheet and into the oven to roast for 8 minutes. Set aside. Grease a loaf pan with oil then line the middle with parchment paper. It will make it easier to remove from the pan without it coming apart.
- In a large bowl, mix together bananas, maple syrup, vanilla extract, eggs, and tahini. Then add coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom and salt and mix well. Chop pistachios and place ½ into the batter and mix until combined.
- Pour batter into bread pan and top with the rest of the pistachios. Then place in the oven to bake for 50- 60 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean from the middle. Let rest for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
