Sticky Banana, Tahini & Walnut Bars

February 6, 2020 / Niki / 19 Comments

Sticky banana, tahini and walnut bars – speedy to make and they taste so good! Another variant of my classic banana bar recipe – but I thought still worth posting – just too good not to.

Packed with lovely middle eastern flavours with the tahini, dates and sesame seeds and then topped with sliced bananas which go all sticky and gooey and then drizzle with some maple for added stickiness! Yum.

You can make them gluten free by using gluten free oats they are absolutely perfect for breakfast or pudding!

I hope you enjoy

Much love, Niki xxx

      Hi Danny
      Any plant based yogurt is great.

    Niki, I’ve been eyeing this up all weekend – some very ripe bananas sat in my kitchen that desperately need to be eaten / put in a bake! – but I don’t have any dates (or dried fruit) in the house. Could I sub more banana and maybe some honey / maple syrup in place of the dates? What would you suggest? I’m concerned about the mix being too dry if I were to add sugar as a sweetener.

      HI Jessica
      ooh tricky one! I would try a combination of upping the banana, maple. tahini and coconut yogurt.
      Then taste and see if its sweet enough.
      Fingers crossed
      Love

    I made it for breakfast today because who can resist banana and tahini (peanut butter in my case) mix?? Super quick and easy recipe.

    My only problem is sweetness of this bake. I knew adding both dates and bananas will be too sweet for my taste but wanted to try the original recipe before making adjustments next time I bake it.

    Thanks for the recipe and inspiration!

      Oh absolutely, especially if you have super ripe bananas. Great to adjust to your own taste.

    Hi Nike, this sounds very goood! But for me baking powder is really bad. Do you think baking soda should work? Many thanks, Daniela

      Hi Daniela
      You can just leave it out. Will work really well.

    Hiya, these look awesome and kid friendly as they have no added sugar. My son has a nut allergy and hasn’t tried walnuts yet. If I left these out would I need to compensate with any other ingredient?

      Hi Alexis
      I would just leave them out or add some seeds if you like.

      Much love, Nikixxx
