Sourdough Banana Bread

This tender, delicious treat begins with sourdough discard.  I made mini loaves. Perfect for breakfast on the go, to pack into a lunchbox as an afternoon treat, or to enjoy for dessert after dinner.

I was feeding my sourdough starter when I noticed the bananas on my counter needed to be used or put into the freezer.  I decided to use them and set aside some of the sourdough discard.

This recipe makes six mini loaves.  Like all banana bread recipes, it is better the day after baking. As it turns out, some of those bananas did go into the freezer, just in a different form.
