  • cup packed brown sugar light or dark
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

Sesame Crumb

  • Mix the flour, sugar & sesame seeds together in a medium bowl. Add in the melted butter and vanilla. Use a fork to combine. The mixture will look like wet sand and should hold together when pinched. Set aside.

Tahini Banana Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 425°
  • In a large bowl, add the sugars, vanilla, butter & oil. Give it a good mix. Add in the mashed bananas, tahini & sour cream and stir to combine. Sift in remaining dry ingredients and mix until there are no pockets of flour left. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared muffin tin. Add the sesame crumb on top and bake at 425° for 10 minutes and then 350° for the remaining 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool before enjoying!
