Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sourdough starter, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Stir just until everything is combined—do not overmix!
- Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care to keep them whole and not burst.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best flavor, always use super ripe bananas. Can experiment with mix-ins like walnuts or chocolate chips.
