Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter active or discard
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup mashed banana about 2 large bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together sourdough starter, honey, melted butter, and flour. 
  • Cover and allow to ferment at room temperature for 12-24 hours (optional).
  • After the muffin batter has fermented, preheat the oven to 350, line or grease the muffin tins.
  • To the batter, add mashed banana, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
  • Using the paddle attachment on the stand mixer, mix together ingredients on low to medium speed until everything is combined well.
  • Pour into muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown. They are done when a toothpick or knife inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out clean. 

Notes

  • If you are new to sourdough you can find how to make a super easy and no fail sourdough starter here.
  • The dough will be really thick after fermentation. This is totally normal.
  • Sourdough can be fickle. Your outcome may depend on how hydrated your starter is.
  • The batter will not look like it has risen at all after fermentation. This is totally normal.
