Recipe: Little Runaway Sourdough Banana Bread
A delicious twist on a classic favorite
If you're a fan of banana bread, you're in for a treat! Introducing sourdough banana bread—a delightful fusion of tangy sourdough and sweet, ripe bananas. This unique twist on the classic banana bread not only tantalizes your taste buds but also offers some surprising benefits.
Banana bread so good, it'll make you wanna runaway with it. Here's why you'll thank me later...
-
Flavor explosion: The natural tanginess of sourdough complements the sweetness of bananas, creating a complex flavor profile that regular banana bread just can't match. Each bite is a perfect balance of sweet and sour, making it a delightful treat for your palate.
-
Health benefits: Sourdough fermentation breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making it easier to digest and more nutritious. This process also enhances the bioavailability of nutrients, giving you a healthier option compared to traditional banana bread.
-
Longer shelf life: Thanks to the natural preservatives in sourdough, banana sourdough bread stays fresh longer. This means you can enjoy your homemade loaf over several days without worrying about it going stale.
-
Unique texture: The fermentation process gives sourdough bread its characteristic chewy texture and airy crumb. When combined with bananas, it results in a moist, tender loaf that's perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients
-
1½ cups ripe bananas

1¼ cups packed brown sugar

1½ tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

½ cup active/bubbly sourdough starter
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1¼ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp sea salt
-
½ cup neutral oil

¾ cup milk
-
1½ tsp cinnamon (or measure with your heart)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 360 F (don’t argue)
Butter one 9×5-inch loaf pan
Cream the bananas, sugar, and vanilla with a hand held mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, about 30 seconds to 1 minute
Add the eggs one at a time (good luck doing it any other way!)
Add the sourdough starter (Be sure to tell your starter what a great job she’s doing!)
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, then add it slowly to the banana/sourdough mixture
Add the milk and oil and mix just until combined (unless you like tough bread)
Pour into the loaf pan
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean
Cool for 20 minutes, then tip the loaf pan onto a wire cooling rack
Slice and slather with Irish butter!
