Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together coconut oil, honey, tahini and light brown sugar. Add in the eggs and whisk until combined.

- Gently fold in the chocolate chunks (and any additional mix-ins).
- Pour the batter into the pan and top with halved banana and sprinkle sesame seeds, if using.
- Place the pan in the middle rack and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (except for melted chocolate). Cook another 5 minutes if any mix-ins were added.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
