Ingredients

240ml oat milk
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g soft dark brown sugar
140g soft light brown sugar
500g very ripe banana, mashed
130g dark tahini
3 tbsp sunflower oil
250g wholemeal flour
1 tsp fine sea salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
for sprinkling black and white sesame seeds
to serve (optional) butter

Method

STEP 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and line a 900g loaf tin with baking paper.
STEP 2
Whisk together the oat milk and vinegar in a large bowl. Add the vanilla, sugars, bananas, tahini and sunflower oil, and mix well. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and bicarb.
STEP 3
Fold the wet ingredients through the dry ingredients very gently, taking care not to over-mix, until there are no lumps of flour left. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and top with the sesame seeds. Bake for 30 minutes, then turn the oven down to 150C/fan 130C/ gas 2 and bake for 1 hour. Remove and cool in the tin for 10 minutes, before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
STEP 4
Heat the grill to high and cut the bread into thick slices. Grill for 1 minute until toasting, then finish with a slab of butter, if you like.
