Sourdough Banana Nut Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Combine sugar, butter, and egg in a large mixing bowl; beat until creamy. Add mashed bananas, sourdough starter, and vanilla extract; mix well.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir into the banana mixture until just combined. Do not overbeat. Fold in pecans, almonds, and cranberries.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan. Let batter rest for about 10 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes.

Steps:

• Add flour mixture and walnuts to the first mixture, stirring until just blended.
• Pour into greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
• Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool to cold before slicing.

Steps:

• The night before, feed the starter as you usually would. The next morning measure out 1 cup of starter and return remainder to crock.
• Preheat your waffle iron.
• In a large bowl, stir the baking powder, soda, flour, sugar and spices.
• In a small bowl lightly beat the egg yolks until light and lemon colored, stir in the mashed banana, extract and butter.
• Stir the banana mixture into the flour along with the stater and milk; stir to combine well; stir in nuts.
• Beat the egg whites until light and fluffy, fold into batter.
• Pour batter, about 1/3 to 1/2 cup per waffle into the waffle iron and bake until golden brown.
• Makes about 10 waffles that measure 3 1/2 inches x 4 inches.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or cooking spray. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Slice 2 thin lengthwise slices from one banana and set aside (optional); mash unsliced portion of that banana with 2 more bananas. Measure 1 1/4 cups mashed banana into a bowl (if you don't have enough, mash in remaining one); whisk in sourdough discard to combine. Whisk in oil, maple syrup, and eggs. Stir in dry ingredients. Transfer to prepared pan. Top with reserved banana slices, gently pressing into batter slightly to adhere. Sprinkle with sugar, for a crackly crust.
• Bake until a tester inserted into center of loaf comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes, then transfer directly to rack and let cool completely. Banana bread is best served the day it's baked, but can be tightly wrapped in parchment-lined foil and stored at room temperature up to 2 days.
