Anna Jones' Seeded Banana Bread With Lemon Sesame Drizzle
- For the cake:
- 125 grams plain flour (I use unbleached)
- 125 grams whole wheat or spelt flour
- 125 grams light brown sugar
- 150 grams little seeds (see headnote)
- 1 good pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 medium, ripe bananas, peeled
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons natural or unsweetened soy yogurt or coconut yogurt
- 2 eggs, preferably organic or free-range, eggs, beaten
- For the lemon sesame drizzle:
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 3 tablespoons golden icing sugar, confectioners' sugar, or set honey
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Preheat your oven to 400u0b0 F (200u0b0 C) . Butter and flour a non-stick 450-gram (1-pound) loaf tin (if your loaf tin is not non-stick, line it with parchment paper too).
- Put all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl-the flours, sugar, seeds, salt, and baking powder-and mix well.
- In another bowl, mash the bananas with a fork (I like to keep them quite chunky), then add the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, yogurt, and eggs and mix well.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, taking care not to over-mix-just do enough to make sure it is all combined. Spoon into the loaf tin and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.
- While your loaf is baking, make the lemon drizzle. Beat the tahini and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth, squeeze in the lemon juice and mix well.
- Take your loaf out of the oven and leave it in the pan until it is cool enough to move to a cooling rack. While the loaf is still warm, place a large plate under the rack, then skewer the cake all over, pour over the drizzle and leave it to sink in.
- This is delicious on its own, thickly sliced, with a cup of coffee, but sometimes I like to spread the slices with a thick layer of almond or peanut butter.
