Banana Bread with Black Sesame and Walnuts
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.

  2. 2

    Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the banana, white sugar, brown sugar, egg white, milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract; stir this into the flour mixture just until the batter is moistened. Fold the sesame seeds and walnuts into the batter; pour into the prepared loaf pan.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
