Number Of Ingredients 1

Butter, for coating the pan 375 g overripe bananas, weighed with the skin on (about 2 medium bananas) 225 g (1 1/4 cups lightly packed) light or dark brown sugar 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract 2 large eggs 100 g (appx. 1/2 cup) bubbly, active 100% hydration

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 360 F. Lightly coat three 7x3x2 mini loaf pans or one 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter. Add the bananas, sugar, and vanilla to a bowl. Cream with a hand held mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, about 30 seconds to 1 minute (some small lumps of banana are okay). Add the eggs, one at a time until fully incorporated. Add the sourdough starter. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Working in batches, add this to the banana mixture. Add the milk and oil and mix until just combined. Do not over do it; the banana bread will be tough. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s). If using the mini loaf pans, place them onto a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 45 minutes (for the mini loaf pans) or 60- 65 minutes (for the standard 9×5-inch pan), until rich golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cover with foil if the loaf browns too quickly. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with powdered sugar for a nice touch!
