Sesame, chocolate & banana toast

Combine the flavour of tahini, sesame seeds, banana and chocolate in this easy recipe. It’s also quick to whip up for when a sweet craving hits

Ingredients

• 75 g salted butter, softened
• 5.5 tbsp tahini
• 75 g caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
• 4 thick slices bread (we used sourdough)
• 50 g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
• 2 small bananas, sliced in half lengthways
• 2 tsp sesame seeds

Steps

1. Mash together the butter and tahini in a bowl using a fork until combined. Mix in the sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Lightly toast the bread on one side under the grill, then spread the tahini mixture over the untoasted side.
2. Heat a frying pan over a low-medium heat and put the bread in, buttered side down. Toast for 3-5 mins, shuffling it around to ensure it doesn’t burn, until the sugar has caramelised.
3. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl in short 30-second bursts in the microwave or set over a pan of just-boiled water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Top the toast with the sliced bananas, drizzle over the melted chocolate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
