Ingredients
250 g Bananas (approx. 3 medium overripe bananas)
1 Egg
5 g Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
80 g Butter (Melted (can be salted or unsalted))
100 g Sourdough Starter (Discard or fed & bubbly)
200 g All Purpose Flour
12 g Baking Powder (2 teaspoons)
100 g Brown Sugar
50 g White Sugar (optional)
pinch Salt
20 g Golden Syrup (for brushing on after baking)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
Mash the overripe bananas with the back of a fork until they are fairly smooth (a few lumps is fine).
Now lightly beat the egg and vanilla together and add that to the mashed bananas. Use your fork to lightly mix the egg mix through.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter on a low heat and then add that the egg and banana mixture.
Now add the sourdough starter to the egg mixture and mix throughly.
In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together and ensure that everything is mixed thoroughly.
Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour mixture into a buttered loaf tin.
Bake at 180C/350F for around 1 hour. Baking time will depend on the size of your tin and your oven.
The banana bread is cooked when a skewer is inserted and comes out clean.
When you take the banana bread out of the oven, brush the top with golden syrup for a lovely shiny, sweet glaze.
Allow to cool for 30 minutes before removing from the tin.
