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

Did you know that I have a new cookbook?
It's called Rebel Recipes and I'm so proud of it. If you like my recipes I know you'll love my cookbook - It took me over a year to develop (and years in the making) and it's packed with deliciously vibrant veg packed recipes!
So addicted to this recipe! Can’t stop making it and eating it! Love that there is no added sugar. Love it when it gets firm and cold in the fridge. I pair it with my frozen banana ice cream made just with frozen bananas and lemon juice in my Thermomix for dessert xx
Very happy to hear that!
Mmm with banana ice cream – love it!!

[…] filling, and delicious. In winter, warming porridge is perfect. I love to make healthy breakfast bars and cookies, healthy and […]
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
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.

Hey! That looks great..but I don’t have any yogurt, can I leave out or substitute?
Hi Simona
Dont worry, you can leave out or use any yogurt or coconut cream.

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!
Hi Audrone
Glad you liked!
Oh absolutely, especially if you have super ripe bananas. Great to adjust to your own taste.
Much love

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

Thanks Niki! Taken your advice and it’s in the oven. Smells amazing! Just working out when to take it out!
eeek!
Fingers crossed, let ke know!

Sounds great! What can I use instead of coconut yogurt?
Hi Danny
Any plant based yogurt is great.
Best
