Easy Sourdough Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
* 1 cup ripe banana, mashed
* 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Optional add-ins: walnuts, dark chocolate chips, or dried cranberries
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, sourdough starter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
3. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom to the bowl. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add it to the bowl and mix until the batter is smooth.
5. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. If using, fold in your chosen add-ins (walnuts, dark chocolate chips, or dried cranberries).
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
