Sourdough Banana Muffins
Sourdough banana muffins are the perfect way to use up the ripe bananas sitting on the counter while throwing in a little sourdough discard.
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1/4 cup honey local if possible
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter discard unfed
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour unbleached
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease muffin tin or use muffin liners.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine butter and brown sugar. Mix until smooth. (About a minute with a hand mixer)
- 3. Add in mashed bananas, honey, eggs, vanilla, sourdough discard, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt. Mix until smooth. There may still be chunks of banana in the batter.
- 4. Add flour. Mix until just combined. Add in the extras if you are using any.
- 5. Spoon into muffin tin. You will use all the batter to fill all 12 muffin cups. This may make them seem plenty full, but it will be ok.
- 6. Let the batter sit in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
- 7. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- 8. Allow to cool and remove from pan.
