→ Main Components

4 overripe bananas, mashed or cut into chunks
02 -
1 cup sourdough starter
03 -
2 cups (250g) plain flour
04 -
½ teaspoon table salt
05 -
½ teaspoon baking soda
06 -
½ cup (113g) softened butter
07 -
½ cup (100g) white sugar
08 -
½ cup (100g) brown sugar
09 -
2 large eggs, at room temperature
10 -
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
# Instructions:
01 -
Set oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x5 loaf pan with a quick spray of cooking oil.
02 -
Toss flour, salt, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Stir them together using a fork. Leave nearby.
03 -
In a big bowl, blend butter with both sugars on medium-high speed till smooth. This should take 1-2 minutes.
04 -
Throw in the eggs, vanilla, and bananas. Stir until the bananas look mostly blended with just a tiny bit of lumps left. Scrape the sides if needed.
05 -
Fold the flour mix and sourdough starter gently into the wet batter by hand.
06 -
Pour the batter into the oiled pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes. It’s ready when a toothpick comes out with crumbs, no wet batter. Let it cool 10 minutes before slicing.
# Notes:
01 -
An active sourdough starter makes all the difference.
02 -
Let all your ingredients sit out to warm up before mixing.
03 -
When you add the flour, use a light hand to avoid overmixing.
