Description
A delightful twist on the classic banana bread, combining ripe bananas with the tang of sourdough for a moist, flavorful loaf.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sourdough starter, unfed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Optional: 1/2 cup walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas with the melted butter until smooth. Stir in the sourdough starter, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if desired. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for sweetness. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
