Description

The ultimate recipe for sourdough banana bread. Insanely moist, rich banana flavor and is perfectly tender.


Ingredients

  • 360g overripe bananas (about 4 bananas)
  • 225g (1¼ cups lightly packed) light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup neutral flavored oil
  • ¼ cup whole milk yogurt or sour cream
  • 100g (about ½ cup) sourdough discard
  • 250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease an 8.5 x 4.5-inch (1.25lb) loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the bananas and brown sugar together until combined.
  3. Add the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, and oil. Mix until smooth.
  4. Whisk together the yogurt and starter in a small bowl, then add to the wet ingredients and mix to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan. Rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Bake at 325°F for 65–70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or the internal temperature reaches 190F on an instant read thermometer.
  8. Allow to cool on a cooling rack for at least an hour before removing from the pan and enjoy!
