Servings 4 loaves

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 large bananas or 7 to 8 small over ripe and mashed
  • 4 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 bag milk chocolate chips (optional)
  • chopped nuts (optional walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Mix oil, sugar, sourdough discard, and eggs together until they are well blended with a stand mixer or in a large bowl
  • Add the mashed bananas, milk, salt, soda, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Add flour last and mix until combined. Do not over mix. At this point you can add chocolate chips if you want to make them even more decadent!
  • Spray nonstick spray on 4 loaf pans and divide the batter between them. I like to make on the middle rack to ensure an even color. If they are on the bottom rack they will have a darker bottom and sides.
  • Bake at 350° for 10 minutes and then reduce the heart to 325 for another 30-40 minutes. The total time for baking is 45-50 minutes apx. You can check doneness with a toothpick. It should come out clean in the middle. Let cool for 10 minutes and then remove
  • Makes 4 loaves. Store in airtight bags or containers. You can freeze and let defrost before eating.
