Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds, finely ground
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground black sesame seeds, baking soda, and salt.
