METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and flour a rectangular loaf pan measuring 11x30cm. In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and add the salt. Mix well.
In the mixer bowl, place the eggs and sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the vegetable oil, tahini, honey, the mashed bananas, and continue mixing. Reduce the speed and add 2/3 cup of the coarsely chopped walnuts, then gradually add the flour mixture, a spoonful at a time.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining walnuts and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes.
