Notes
- Feel free to substitute some of the all purpose flour with whole-wheat flour whole-wheat pastry flour.
- If you are not vegan, then use 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 large egg. Omit the 3 tablespoons from the recipe.
- If your sourdough starter is too thick, then stir in some water into the batter to make sure that the bread bakes up light.
- Add ins can easily be customized to your liking. If you like sourdough banana nut bread, then add a combination of chopped nuts to the batter. Or add chocolate chips, cranberries, raisins and so on.
- To add flavor to the bread, add ground cinnamon or ground cardamom to the batter.
- Make sourdough banana bread muffins by pouring the batter into a greased or paper lined muffin pan. Bake at 350°F for 30~35 minutes or at 375°F for 25~30 minutes.
