Ultimate sourdough banana bread packs with an incredibly soft crumb and a pure banana flavour. A healthy breakfast idea with low sugar content that is perfect for anyone!

This sourdough banana bread is a brilliant idea to use up your sourdough starter and ripe bananas. With the addition of the sourdough starter and dark brown sugar, this banana bread is remarkably soft, scrumptious but not overly sweet.

A banana bread that is unique and different from the traditional banana bread recipe. To describe this in further details, this banana bread is more like a soft bread that has a fluffy texture, strong banana flavour but mild in taste whereas the classic banana bread is moist and sweeter in texture and taste, leaning towards a cake category.

WHAT’S MAKE THIS SOURDOUGH BANANA BREAD SO DELICIOUS

Super ripe bananas! Using overly ripe bananas with plenty of dark spots is the key to make this bread naturally sweetened and delicious.

Dark brown sugar instead of white sugar! This will give the bread an extra moisture and a sweet molasses flavour.

Bread flour instead of all-purpose flour! Bread flour in general has a higher protein content to helps with gluten development. This means you get a softer and fluffier bread.

Rest the dough! I know rest the dough. This banana bread recipe required an hour of resting time before you send it to the oven. This way it allows the gluten to relax and achieve a fluffier result.
