Tahini Glazed Banana Bread

Every so often, a grand idea pops up… Sometimes they work; sometimes they’re absolute kitchen disasters. This particular idea worked wonderfully; and I think banana bread may just never ever be the same after you try this one!

This particular recipe is inspired by my pretty fierce angel, grandma Jeannnette, who lost a brave battle to this pandemic exactly two weeks ago. She was the indisputable hummus, tahini, and za’atar queen. My Jeannette cooked with such grace and warmth; feeding an army of grandkids each time. Everything she touched just fell into place so perfectly and effortlessly. She will be missed every day; but most importantly- she will be remembered every day. Whenever I step into the kitchen to create; she’s in my heart and thoughts each time. Forever.

Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Bread!

Where you even in quarantine if you didn’t bake banana bread? That, my friends, is the obvious question. All jokes aside, banana bread took over the food space like no other recipe coulda, shoulda, woulda. It was virtually everywhere, and I am not mad about it… It’s ubiquitous for multiple reasons: easy pantry staples, everyone’s got spotty bananas they want to save from perdition, and you don’t need to be a seasoned baker to get this one right. ALL you need is basic ingredients; a bowl or two, an oven, and the coffee or tea to go along with it. p.s. this one is a little EXTRA. It involves good old peanut butter- which is perhaps the best sidekick banana bread could ever find! You will love.
