Sourdough Pumpkin Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
* 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
* 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
3. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and chopped nuts (if using), mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook Time: 50-60 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Variations:
* Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the bread before baking for a salty-sweet contrast.
* Replace the chopped nuts with dried cranberries or chocolate chips for a fruity or chocolatey twist.
* Use homemade pumpkin puree instead of canned, and spice it up with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
* Try substitution with whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for a nutty flavor.
* Make muffins instead of a loaf by dividing the batter into 12 equal portions and baking for 20-25 minutes.
