Notes
Variation Ideas
Peanut butter: You could add about 1/3 cup of peanut butter to the batter to make this a banana peanut butter bread.
Nuts and seeds: You can add 1/3 cup of any nuts or seeds of your choice. Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, or chopped walnuts are all delicious choices. But anything would work.
Chocolate chips or chunks: Of course you can toss in 1/3 cup of
chocolate chips to the batter to sweeten up the bread if you like! FAQ How Long Does Sourdough Discard Banana Bread Last? It will last about 4 days in an airtight container on the counter. Can I Freeze Sourdough Discard Banana Bread? Yes. It will last about 5 months in an airtight container in the freezer. Can I Use Mature Starter To Make This Banana Bread? Yes there are two options. 1. You can simply substitute the 1 cup of sourdough discard for 1 cup of active starter and bake right away. 2. You can long ferment the banana bread. To do this, combine the
honey, sourdough starter, butter, and flour in a bowl. Cover the bowl

Sourdough starter and sourdough discard use the same ingredients – flour and water. The difference is that a mature sourdough starter has more wild yeast than a new sourdough starter. Sourdough discard is generated as you build up a mature starter. Especially on days 0-3 a new starter has less wild yeast than a mature starter does, which means that it will have less power to rise baking applications like bread.
