Sourdough Discard Banana Bread
Sourdough has become so popular lately, which is a wonderful thing! But one thing that seems to keep coming up is what to do with the discard when life gets busy. I get it! That’s why I’m sharing our sourdough discard banana bread so it doesn’t have to go to waste!
If you don’t plan on baking when you have discard, no problem, it can be saved in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. Some recipes need more discard than others. This one included. So it took me a couple days until I was ready to make this recipe.
This sourdough discard banana bread is easy and will have your house smelling delcious in no time. Not to mention, it won’t last if your kids like it like mine do!
