The Best Sourdough Glazed Donuts

Banana Bread

If you have browning bananas, this is the perfect recipe to use up your starter! Sourdough banana bread is a huge hit in my house and one of the most loved recipes on my site. I converted my grandma’s recipe years ago and my kids devour this sourdough banana bread recipe turned into mini muffins – so if you have tiny people living in your home, try that variation out!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c organic cane sugar
  • 1/2 c butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large browned bananas, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 c sourdough starter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 c unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 c chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, optional

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Cream together butter and sugar

Step 2

Add mashed banana, egg, and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.

Step 3

 

Slowly add the starter and beat to incorporate. This might take a minute or two, but it will get there!

Step 4

Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well

Step 5

Allow batter to rest for 4-6 hours on the counter or in the fridge.

Step 6

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Step 7

Fold in chocolate chips and/or walnuts

Step 8

 

Pour into greased pan

Step 9

Bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool and enjoy!

Tip

To make this recipe into muffins, grease and fill a muffin tin 2/3 full and bake for 20 minutes or until browned and a toothpick comes out clean. The muffins also freeze really well if you double the batch (you will want to). For mini muffins – fill a mini muffin tin and bake 12-14 mins.
