Ultimate Sourdough Banana Bread

Ultimate Sourdough Banana Bread

Prep:10minCook:1h 5min

Banana bread is a comfort food classic. My secret is plenty of brown sugar, overripe bananas, and a specific mixing order for the ultimate sourdough banana bread. Recipe adapted from The Boathouse restaurant in Manly, Australia. Notes: Out of sourdough starter? You can still make this recipe (and it's delicious!). Increase the milk to 125 ml (1/2 cup) total. You will need a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or three 7x3x2 mini loaf pans for baking.

It did not have much of a different flavor than non-sourdough banana bread, but it was very tasty. I added a tsp of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg which was very tasty. Muffins took about 30-35 minutes to bake.

I've made it over and over. It is so good. I'm off dairy right now and it worked well with dairy substitute ingredients

Good, bottom crust was super hard tho. Maybe try parchment paper and ice trick. Also took me closer to 65 min just fyi

I had some too ripe bananas and was looking to use some sourdough starter and was glad to find this! 8/10. I have a different non sourdough banana bread recipe I would use over this one, assuming I didn’t need to make use of starter. I’d make this again but does not replace my fave recipe.

My family loved this! My kids deemed it the best banana bread ever. I did miss the flavor of cinnamon a little bit. I would recommend covering with foil during the last part of baking to prevent over browning.

Weighed ingredients and used coconut sugar. Rose beautifully, smells fab but looks a bit scorched, tho didn't affect the flavour, lovely rich tangy caramel - going to try putting foil over for the last 20 mins next time
