Number Of Ingredients 13

240 grams Spelt, whole wheat, einkorn, all purpose, or a mix
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
125 grams Chopped Pecans
126 grams Butter
100 grams Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
125 grams Sourdough Starter
42 grams Honey
3 Bananas (ripe and mushy)
28 grams Olive OIl
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 Lemon Zest (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a small bowl mix a handful of chopped walnuts and a few pinches of sugar. Set aside to be used as the topping later.
  • In another bowl (or a stand mixer) cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time. While mixing, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add in sourdough starter, honey, mashed bananas, and olive oil. Add in the vanilla. Then, add in the flour mixture slowly, pausing to scrape down the sides if necessary. By hand, fold in the remaining walnuts and lemon zest. Pour the batter into the 9" x 5" baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle on the reserved chopped walnuts and sugar.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes. It's better to undercook this than overcook: you want it moist. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and then gently remove onto a wire rack to thoroughly cool.
