Ingredients

  • 250g overripe bananas (approximately 3)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100g sourdough starter, discard or active
  • 200g all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp (12g) baking powder
  • 100g brown sugar
  • 50g white sugar (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F
  2. Mash the overripe bananas with the back of a fork until they are fairly smooth.
  3. Beat the egg and vanilla together and add to the mashed bananas. Lightly mix the egg mix through.
  4. Melt the butter and add to the egg and banana mixture, whisking while you add to prevent the hot butter from curdling the eggs.
  5. Add the sourdough starter to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together thoroughly. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  7. Pour mixture into a buttered loaf tin.
  8. Bake at 250F for around 45 minutes to 1 hour. The banana bread is cooked when a skewer is inserted and comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the tin.

Natalie’s notes

Made 7/8/24. Added 1/2 tsp almond extract and did not add the white sugar. Easy and delicious, not too sweet.
