sourdough banana muffins

These were tastier than I expected! 

From here. I liked them with some chopped pecans sprinkled on top before baking.  I would like to cut the sugar, so it's worth playing with that.  Also could be at least partially whole grain flour.  I did put a little (maybe 1 T) worth of whey drained from yogurt in for a bit of moisture but it probably wasn't necessary.  Interesting that there's no fat but the texture is still good.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or 1/3 c. honey?)
  • 1 cup mashed bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • pecans to sprinkle on top of each 

Instructions:

  1. At least 12 hours before you wish to bake them, combine sourdough starter and flour. It will make a very thick dough, so do not be alarmed. Cover and place in a warm spot to culture for 12 to 24 hours.
  2. After 12 to 24 hours, preheat oven to 375°F. Combine sugar, banana, and egg in a small bowl. In another small bowl combine salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  3. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the cultured dough. Gradually add the liquid ingredients, stirring just to combine.
  4. Spoon batter into muffin tin, filling 3/4 full. Bake at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
