Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed (about ½ cup)
  • ⅓ cup olive oil or neutral oil
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1¼ cups brown rice flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¾ cup milk or dairy-free milk alternative
  • ¼ cup black sesame seeds, finely crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a standard loaf pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, eggs, and milk. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together brown rice flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined. Batter will be thin.
  5. Fold in crushed black sesame seeds.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not substitute white rice flour for brown rice flour—it will affect the texture.
  • The batter is meant to be thinner than typical banana bread batter.
  • Cool fully before slicing for best structure and texture.
