# Ingredients:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
1 cup of sourdough starter
02 -
4 bananas, ripe and either chopped or mashed
03 -
2 big eggs, at room temp
04 -
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
05 -
½ cup of regular granulated sugar
06 -
½ cup packed (100g) brown sugar
07 -
½ cup (113g) softened butter
08 -
½ teaspoon salt
09 -
½ tsp baking soda
10 -
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
# Instructions:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5 loaf pan with a light coating of non-stick spray.
02 -
Toss flour, salt, and baking soda into a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to stir things together. Put it to the side for now.
03 -
Using a mixer, whip up the butter and sugars in a large bowl on medium-high. Keep going for about 1–2 minutes until it looks smooth and fully blended.
04 -
Stir in the eggs, vanilla, and bananas. It's okay if a couple of banana chunks stick around—just scrape the bowl as needed.
05 -
Work the flour mix and sourdough starter gently into the wet mixture using your hands or a spoon.
06 -
Pour it all into your loaf pan and bake for about 55–65 minutes. When a toothpick poked in comes out with crumbs (not wet batter), it's good. Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly
02 -
Room-temp ingredients mix much more smoothly
03 -
Switch to gentle stirring when adding flour—no heavy mixing!
