You know what else makes this recipe especially tasty and more healthy? I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. I don't have expeller pressed coconut oil (the kind that does not have a coconut taste) so our banana bread had a light coconut flavor that made this one of the most scrumptious banana breads I've ever made!
Sourdough Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
1 cup fed sourdough starter
2/3 cup coconut oil
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 medium bananas mashed
2-3 medium bananas mashed
2 cups unrefined flour
1 cup unrefined sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Combine the starter, oil, eggs and vanilla in a bowl and mix well. Stir in mashed bananas. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl then stir into the wet mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into two loaf pans. I only use glass loaf pans and always grease them with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. When it is done, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing from pans and cooling on a wire rack.
Enjoy!

I would *never* have thought to try to make a sweet bread out of sourdough! And it turned out well? Thanks for doing the experimenting for me! Now maybe I'll have the guts to try it!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought of it either but had found a sweet sourdough pumpkin bread recipe on Pinterest last week and made it- so yummy! That totally inspired this one. With using just a small portion of sourdough it didn't have any sour taste at all!
DeleteI haven't had banana bread in forever. This looks so good!
ReplyDeleteBanana Bread is a regular in this household- an easy snack to make and use up those overripe bananas!
DeleteYum! I wonder if I can make a gluten free version of this... Thanks for sharing the recipe. The pictures look so scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteI bet you totally could make it gluten free! We aren't a gluten free household but over the summer I hosted book club and half the group is gluten free. I challenged myself to make a gluten free snack so made my favorite zucchini bread recipe and used gluten free flours instead- it turned out quite tasty!
DeleteI need to try this. I wanted to work on sourdough recipes for the October #unprocessed challenge and never got around to it.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Barb! Now that we have a sourdough starter I've been trying all sorts of recipes. One of these days I'm going to try to write up a post with a list of our favorite sourdough recipes :)
DeleteOh yum! Banana bread is one of my favs and this bread looks awesome! Love that you used coconut oil and the addition of sourdough too! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I think next time I make it I'm going to try using a substitute for the sugar. I made a sourdough pumpkin bread recipe recently that used maple syrup instead of sugar and it was so tasty!
DeleteLooks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt went so fast in our house I think next time I may have to double the recipe! I always like to have an extra loaf to freeze so we can easily pull it out and thaw it for a snack if I don't have any other baked goods around :)
DeleteOh sure- post about something sweet and scrumptious when I'm about to eat my salad for lunch. Now I feel like something is lacking.... ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha Tamara, that's too funny! I always try to tell myself this snack is healthy since it has coconut oil, sourdough, bananas and all the ingredients are organic :)
