I am so excited about these lovely eggless scones! The flavors are unique – lightly sweet and nutty.
The texture is perfect – crunchy outside and slightly crumbly, yet soft, inside.
And the Sweet Tahini Glaze brings it all deliciously together!
They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. Put these vegan Banana Black Sesame Scones on your brunch menu today or simply enjoy one for an afternoon treat.
The awesome thing about scones is that are acceptable for eating all day long.
They make a delicious breakfast or brunch with a cup of coffee or tea. They’re also great for keeping hunger at bay during the afternoon. And, because they are lightly sweetened, they can even become a dessert treat.
And they’re actually good for you! These black speckled beauties are full of healthy plant based ingredients and contain no refined sugar and no oil!
I love using Simply Organic spices and seasonings! I first introduced you to these aromatic spices when I made my Chai Spiced Pumpkin Layer Cake. You guys loved that cake so much, it won Reader’s Choice in the Simply Organic and Go Dairy Free Bake-Off!
Simply Organic spices are incredibly fragrant with bold flavors.
I also love that the company’s values align with my own – being good to our bodies and good to our environment.
They are committed to ensuring that their “organic spices and seasonings are grown and processed in an ethical and sustainable manner.
They even give 1% of all sales to “support organic agriculture through research, education, and grower development.” How cool is that?!
Sesame Seeds are high in copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin B1, and fiber. [source]
You can eat the seeds whole, grind them into a paste (tahini), or press them to extract the oil. They lend a lovely nutty flavor and, if eaten whole, a delicate crunch.
Sesame seeds are delicious in both sweet and savory preparations.
You’ve likely had the seeds sprinkled over Asian dishes or maybe on your morning bagel or burger bun.
Sesame oil is delicious in Asian inspired dressings. And I’m sure you’ve probably had tahini in hummus.
I wanted to do something a little different for you today and when the idea of bananas paired with sesame seeds popped into my head, I knew I had to try it. It’s a delicious flavor combo and these vegan banana eggless scones are a must try!

Banana Black Sesame Eggless Scones
Ingredients
For the Scones:
- 2 cups spelt flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons organic coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons Simply Organic Black Sesame Seeds
- ½ cup mashed banana about 1 large banana
- ¼ cup canned full fat coconut milk plus additional 1-3 tablespoons if needed
- ¼ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
For the Sweet Tahini Glaze (optional):
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
For the Scones:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and salt. Whisk in the black sesame seeds.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, coconut milk, tahini, and vanilla.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough will be a little bit sticky, but should come together easily in a ball. If there are still bits of dry ingredients that won't incorporate, add an additional tablespoon of coconut milk and mix again. You may need between 1 to 3 extra tablespoons of coconut milk (I used 2 tablespoons), but be sure to add just 1 tablespoon at a time and then mix. Only add additional tablespoons if necessary to fully combine the ingredients.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean floured surface. Shape it into a flat circular disc shape about an inch thick. Cut the dough in half top to bottom and again side to side so that you have four even slices. Cut each slice in half to make 8 even slices.
- Carefully transfer each slice to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until they are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before adding the optional glaze.
For the Sweet Tahini Glaze:
- In a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, whisk the tahini and maple syrup until it reduces to a thick sauce. This should take about 5 minutes or so. Watch it carefully and don’t turn the heat up too high as it could burn.
- Drizzle the glaze onto the cooled scones and enjoy!
