Ingredients

Scale

  2. In a large bowl, combine sourdough discard, mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
