Sourdough banana bread
What if … I use some sourdough starter and some freeze-dried bananas to make a banana bread loaf?

Results

This banana bread was so moist and delicious .. a definite win.

I may add walnuts next time - I like having nuts in my banana bread.

I will be making a dry “recipe in a jar mix” so I can just add the liquid components. I have yet to have enough eggs to freeze-dry but the egg powder will come in so handy for so many things.

Anyway, for now: two thumbs up 👍 👍
