Quick & Easy Banana Bread Discard Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas and the sourdough starter discard. Mix well until completely combined.

Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully integrated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Fold in the chopped nuts if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
