Between the zucchini from my garden, the bananas that get bought but not eaten and end up in the freezer, and the sourdough starter, I will never be able to stop baking. HURRAY! All kinds of excuses to bake.

3 very ripe bananas

1 cup sourdough discard

1 egg

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil or softened butter

1 1/2 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup walnut pieces or caramel chips

1 Preheat oven to 350. Spray loaf pan with cooking spray for baking. (There was a lot of batter, I think you could get 1 regular size loaf and 1 small loaf from this recipe. I poured all the batter into the regular size loaf pan and it spilled out over the edges while cooking. You can see from the picture that the sides aren’t very pretty.)

2 Mash the bananas with a fork in a medium to large bowl. Mix in discard, egg, and oil/butter. Add sugar and mix to combine.

3 Add flour, salt, and baking soda to wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Add nuts or chips and fold in until combined.

4 Pour batter into prepared pan(s), top with additional nuts or chips, and bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to cool completely.
