Bread, Sourdough Banana
Prep 15 minutes
Cook bake in the prepared loaf pan in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serves Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups organic all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp unrefined salt
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup grass-fed butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 3 medium very ripe bananas
  • 2 large pastured eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter (see note)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour an 8.5x4.5-inch loaf pan, tapping out the excess flour.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light. Add the bananas and beat until the bananas are well “mashed.” Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined. Add the sourdough starter and mix just until incorporated.
  4. Add the dry ingredients and gently mix on low speed just until combined. Add the chocolate chips and gently fold them in with a spatula.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes before inverting on the rack to cool completely (or at least until just warm). Serve with grass-fed butter.

Notes

An active sourdough starter is one that has been fed about 8-12 hours beforehand, and is bubbly and passes the float test.

I keep my starter at 100% hydration, which means that I feed it equal weights, not volumes, of water and flour.
