Method:
Step 1:
Preheat the over to 350 degrees + grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar + 3 mashed bananas until a relatively smooth paste forms. Whisk in the yogurt, olive oil, tahini, vanilla + eggs until well combined.
Step 3:
Add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg + cardamom. Stir until just incorporated + there are no pockets of flour, then fold in the pistachios.
Step 4:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan + smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the sesame seeds (or sub pistachios) over the batter than arrange the remaining halved banana on top, cut-side up. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the bananas. Bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5:
Let cool completely, then slice + serve.
