Ingredients:
For the sourdough starter:
* 1 cup (250ml) water
* 1 cup (250ml) ripe banana, mashed
* 1/2 cup (60g) whole wheat flour
* 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast (make sure it's dairy-free)
For the banana bread:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup (100g) unsalted vegan butter, softened
* 1/2 cup (60g) granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened applesauce
* 2 large eggs, replaced by: 2 flax eggs*
* 1 1/2 cups (185g) all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional)
* 1/4 cup (30g) chocolate chips (optional)
* 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the sourdough starter ingredients and mix until smooth. Cover with a cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, vegan butter, sugar, applesauce, and flax eggs. Mix until smooth.
4. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl. Mix until just combined.
5. Add the sourdough starter, chopped walnuts (if using), and chocolate chips (if using) to the bowl. Mix until a thick batter forms.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
