1. Preheat your oven to 180C
2. In a medium sized bowl, mash your bananas and set aside
3. In a large bowl, whisk your tahini, maple syrup, vanilla & oil together. Add your eggs one by one and mix till combined. Only add the next egg when the previous egg has been completely incorporated into your batter.
4. Whisk in your mashed banana & lemon juice
5. Switch to a spatula and add your flour, baking powder & soda, cinnamon, nutmeg. Gently fold that in until the dry mixture is incorporated
6. In a seperate small bowl, mix your maple syrup & cinnamon. This seems impossible, but keep whisking and it will eventually come together
7. Line and grease a 35x12cm loaf pan
8. Add 1/3 of your banana batter into the loaf pan. Spoon over 1/3 of your maple-cinnamon mixture, followed by 1/3 of your extra tahini. Grab a knife and swirl it into the batter
9. Repeat this process 2 more times and finish with a last swirl of maple cinnamon & tahini
10. Top your cake with the sesame seeds and bake for 40-45 minutes
