Ingredients

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing pan
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Homemade Tahini or store-bought
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium), plus 1 whole banana halved lengthwise
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. sesame seeds

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 350°F. Brush 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with butter and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on long sides.
2. Step 2 In large bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, honey, tahini, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Whisk in mashed bananas, then baking soda and salt until thoroughly combined. Add flour and whisk just until combined and no flour streaks remain.
3. Step 3Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and top with halved banana, cut side up. Bake, tenting top with foil if getting dark, until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean,
  60 to 70 minutes. Let loaf cool in pan 10 minutes, then use parchment to transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
