Ingredients

    Directions

    Step 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, mashed bananas, softened butter, eggs, and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.

    Step 2

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

    Step 3

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Step 4

    If using walnuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

    Step 5

    Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and pour the batter into it. Smooth the top and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes.

    Step 6

    Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready. Remove it from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

    Conclusion

Fold in any walnuts or other mix-ins at the end to maintain the batter's lightness.Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
