Sesame, chocolate & banana toast

• salted butter↗75g g

  softened

• tahini↗1½ tbsp tbsp
• caster sugar↗75g g
• vanilla extract↗1 tsp tsp
• ground cinnamon↗¼ tsp tsp
• bread↗4 thick slices

  4 thick slices (we used sourdough)

• dark chocolate↗50g g

  roughly chopped

• bananas↗2 small

  2 small, sliced in half lengthways

• sesame seeds↗2 tsp tsp

Step-by-step instructions

1. 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. 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. 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.
