Dynamically insert templates: Variable is correct but template doesnt get inserted

I am trying to insert various templates depending on which button is clicked. For this I created an event that sets a session variable with the id of the button.

   'click .task-option-button': function (e) {
      var template = e.target.id;
      Session.set('addTaskTemplate', template);
      console.log(template);
    }

and a helper that returns the session variable

addTaskTemplate: function () {
  var taskTemplate = Session.get('addTaskTemplate');
  return taskTemplate;
},

and then the template gets inserted like this

{{> Template.dynamic template= "{{addTaskTemplate}}"" }}

However, clicking the button doesn't add the template. When I put 

{{> Template.dynamic template= "SomeStaticTemplate" }}

it works. Also using {{addTaskTemplate}} as a normal variable in <p></p> tags works and returns the id of the button as a string. Is there anything I am missing here?

{{> Template.dynamic template= addTaskTemplate }} will do. Just remove the {{ }} brackets.
