Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 325℉. Spray an 11x5-inch (or 9x5) loaf pan with non-stick spray before lining with a piece of parchment paper the same width as the pan with the paper edges left to hang over the sides of the pan.

In a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla until fully combined. Add the mashed bananas and sourdough discard and whisk until combined. Add the salt, flour, and baking soda and stir just until incorporated. Do not overmix! Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (You may need to bake 5-10 more minutes if using a 9x5-inch pan.) Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper to lift. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Discard Ripeness Hack 🍌Use sourdough discard that is at least 4-5 days old for the best flavor complexity and fermentation in your banana bread.
- Banana Maturity Matters 🟤Choose bananas that are completely brown and extremely soft to maximize natural sweetness and ensure a moist, tender crumb.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution Trick 🍫Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Sourdough Activation Technique 🌾Let the sourdough starter mix with wet ingredients for 30-60 minutes before adding dry ingredients to enhance fermentation and develop deeper flavors.
- Moisture Preservation Hack 💦Cover the banana bread with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning and lock in moisture.
