Vegan Sourdough Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
* 1 cup active sourdough starter (at room temperature)
* 1/2 cup vegan butter (melted), plus more for greasing the loaf pan
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4. Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped walnuts (if using).
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
7. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
8. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variations:
* Nutella Variation: Add 1/4 cup of Nutella to the batter for a chocolate-hazelnut twist.
* Cinnamon Swirl Variation: Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter and create a cinnamon swirl by spooning a cinnamon-sugar mixture (1 tablespoon sugar + 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon) over the batter before baking.
* Pecan Variation: Substitute chopped pecans for the walnuts for a different texture and flavor.
* Gluten-Free Variation: Replace the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and adjust the baking time accordingly.
