Sourdough Banana Bread

This is sourdough banana bread recipe is a simple recipe, based on classic banana bread but with the addition of a sourdough discard starter and optional candied ginger.

An easy, soft sourdough banana bread. Bake them as mini loaves, or as one large loaf.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F. Grease an 8 mini loaf pan or one large loaf pan.

Finely dice the candied ginger into pieces of your choosing. It's very strong in flavour so smaller pieces are best. I cut mine into 2mm pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, then stir in melted butter. Add in the brown sugar, egg, vanilla and sourdough starter and stir it well together until all combined.

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

Tip the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients along with the diced ginger and fold it together until the flour mixture is well combined but not overmixed. Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.

You can bake them in mini loaf pans too.

Bake in the preheated oven. The mini loaves will bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

If baking a large loaf, the baking time should be increased to 50-60 minutes, depending on the loaf pan size.

Serve the banana bread fresh with a pat of butter.
