In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add
in the sugar, tahini paste, maple syrup, oil,
milk, vanilla and eggs and mix well. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and
salt and mix until incorporated.

Grease a round baking pan. If desired, coat in a layer of sesame seeds for extra sesame-goodness!

Mix the swirl ingredients together and set aside.

Pour half of batter in the baking dish and
then dollop half of the swirl on top. Gently
swirl the tahini into the batter, then pour
the rest of the batter on top and finish with
another tahini swirl.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted comes out clean.

So what do you think? Is it a cake or a bread?

Apple Crumb Cake


I have to admit I’m not much of a baker but when it comes to the High Holidays, I pull out all the stops
Whether it’s an over the top bundt cake, my mason jar honey cakes for gift giving or my red wine chocolate cake – you’ll always
find me baking up something special for Rosh Hashanah. There’s just nothing like a a comforting slice of cake with tea for dessert,
or even for breakfast with a cup of coffee. I love creating new dishes that gets everyone excited for the holiday – it sets such a festive
mood for the whole family, and is really the foundation for making memories around the table. I know honey cake doesn’t always get
the most love, so this year, I created a recipe for an apple cider crumb cake that brings all the warm, cozy feels of fall. You can bake it
in a bundt pan, 9×13 tray or even a loaf – whatever you like best.

Cranberry Oat Bars

Why is it that so many people have leftover cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving. I  LOVE cranberry sauce. I can eat it by the spoonful. Is it just me?

Not really a fan of the traditional cranberry sauce recipes with a cup of sugar though. They’re too sweet for my taste, and I don’t want to mask the amazing tartness of the cranberries!

So I cook my cranberry sauce down in red wine, or pomegranate juice, or even apple cider, and I sweeten it with maple syrup or honey, to taste, and THAT, my friends, is how you make cranberry sauce that doesn’t get relegated to the back of the fridge with the tzimmes. IfyouknowwhatImean!

But IF, if you make bomb cranberry sauce and you still have some leftover – well then cranberry oat bars it is. And the pecans add just the perfect amount of buttery nuttiness to top it off for the perfect post-Thanksgiving breakfast.

I mean, how. GOOD. does. that. look?
You know you want it.

Happy Thanksgiving y’all!!

1 c almond flour (see note)

1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp kosher salt
1 egg
1 cup flavorless oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 c chopped pecans
1 recipe maple cider cranberry sauce or mulled wine cranberry sauce

3. Remove half of the mixture into a bowl and add the pecans. Reserve for topping. a
4. Press the remaining batter into a parchment lined quarter baking sheet or a 9×13 pan.

6. Bake for 30 minutes or until browned. Cool completely; cut into squares.

VARIATION: use canned jellied cranberry sauce in place of homemade, or any jam of your choice.

NOTE: if you don’t have almond flour, you may use an additional cup of all purpose flour.
