Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 250 g Bananas (approximately 3 medium overripe bananas) Use very ripe bananas for best flavor.
- 2 large Eggs About 60g each.
- 5 g Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon.
- 80 g Butter Melted, can be salted or unsalted.
- 100 g Sourdough Starter Or sourdough discard.
Dry Ingredients
- 200 g All-Purpose Flour You can substitute half with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- 12 g Baking Powder 2 teaspoons.
- 100 g Brown Sugar
- 50 g White Sugar
- Pinch Salt
For Glaze
- 20 g Golden Syrup For brushing on after baking.
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180C/350F.
- Mash the overripe bananas with the back of a fork until they are fairly smooth (a few lumps are fine).
- Lightly beat the eggs and vanilla together, then add them to the mashed bananas. Use your fork to mix them through.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. After it has melted, add it to the egg and banana mixture.
- Add the sourdough starter to the egg mixture and mix thoroughly.
Mixing
- In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together and make sure everything is combined well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered loaf tin.
Baking
- Bake at 180C/350F for around 1 hour. Baking time can depend on the size of your tin and your oven.
- The banana bread is done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once out of the oven, brush the top with golden syrup for a lovely shiny, sweet glaze.
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes before removing from the tin.
