How to Make Sourdough Banana Bread

August 27, 2022 by Leslie Helen Leave a Comment

This Sourdough Banana Bread recipe makes one light and fluffy bread. Like my other Sourdough Banana recipes, these make a healthy snack to pack in your lunch or have as a breakfast on the go. Just make sure you are using ingredients processed in a nut-free facility if you are packing in your kid’s lunches. I personally love having a slice with my afternoon tea or coffee.

Recommended Tools

  • Bread pan
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • Silicone spatula
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients for Sourdough Banana Muffins

  • 1.5 cups Organic all-purpose unbleached white four
  • 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan rock salt or another sea salt
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/8 cup brown sugar or equivalent sugar substitute like Splenda

Optional Ingredients (Toppings)

  • Chocolate chips
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Chopped pecans

Instructions for Sourdough Banana Bread

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease the bread pan with some melted coconut oil. I add the coconut oil to the pan and place it in the oven as it heats up. When the oil is melted, remove the pan from the oven, and using a food silicone brush, spread the melted oil to the entire interior of the pan.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk the ingredients, making sure to remove any lumps. Set aside.
  3. Mix together the warm (not hot) coconut oil, brown sugar (or brown sugar substitute), and eggs in a medium to large mixing bowl.
  4. Add the stirred sourdough, and the mashed bananas, making sure to get rid of any large clumps.

  1. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix until no dry flour patches remain.
  2. Set the batter aside for 15 minutes at room temperature. This gives the starter and baking soda a chance to react and rise. The results are a more light and airy texture once the muffins are baked.

  1. Pour half the batter into the baking pan. Now add any optional ingredients like chocolate chips or chopped nuts. Cover with the remaining batter. Optional: Top with walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips. I used the shredded coconut in the picture.

  • 2 mixing bowls
  • Silicone spatula
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients for Sourdough Hawaiian Banana Muffins

  • 1.5 cups Organic all-purpose unbleached white four
  • 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan rock salt or another sea salt
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/8 cup white sugar or equivalent sugar substitute like Splenda

Optional Ingredients (Toppings)

  • Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Chopped pecans

Instructions for Sourdough Hawaiian Banana Muffins

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a muffin tin with 12 liners. I like using silicone liners because they really are the gold standard in non-stick. Plus, they are reusable so better for the environment.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk the ingredients, making sure to remove any lumps. Set aside.
  3. In a medium to a large-sized mixing bowl, mix together the warm (not hot) coconut oil, sugar (or sugar substitute), and eggs.
  4. Add the stirred sourdough, and the mashed bananas, making sure to get rid of any large clumps.

How to Make Sourdough Tortillas From Scratch

May 21, 2021 by Leslie Helen 5 Comments

Sourdough Tortillas are a great versatile addition to your food toolkit and are a healthier choice than white or whole wheat versions. There are many benefits to Sourdough Bread, including:

Sourdough bread is made with a sourdough starter, which is a fermented mix of flour and natural yeasts that help the bread rise.

It is more digestible than regular bread because the fermentation process breaks down gluten that can cause bloating and other digestive problems.

The lactic acid in sourdough bread helps your body to absorb more of the nutrients from sourdough bread than you would from regular white of wheat bread.

Reduce Food Waste

picture of wrap sandwich

We often cook in larger batches to save time during the week but don’t always like eating the same thing multiple times. Use Sourdough Tortillas to change it up. For instance, we often make up a big batch of ingredients for Taco Bowls, the next day we will add those same ingredients to a Sourdough Tortilla and voila – a different meal. Tortillas are a great way to reduce food waste by giving your leftovers a new purpose.

Ways to Enjoy Your Healthy Sourdough Tortillas

We love enjoying our Sourdough Tortillas

  • Use as flat bread for a sandwich
  • Makes a great base for oven flat bread topped with leftover meat and veg, topped with cheese and baked
  • Can pass as a naan
  • Soft Taco
  • Rolled up burrito (if you make them bigger in size)
  • Great sliced and toasted like a pita for dip
  • Quesadilla

Recommended Tools

  • Stand mixer with a dough hook
  • Silicone baking mat for pastry
  • Cast iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 3 cups organic flour
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (Check out my easy step-by-step guide to building your very own starter here)
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup oil (Olive or Avocado)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (for cooking)
flour, sourdough starter, salt and glass jar containing water and oil

Steps:

1. The night before, add all ingredients (except the coconut oil) in the order listed to the bowl of a stand mixer. (When using the mixer, I always add the flour first as I find it mixes better than adding the wet ingredients first.)

2. Using a dough hook, mix until ingredients are combined and dough is stretchy (roughly 5 minutes).

dough in a bowl

3. Place in a greased bowl and cover with beeswax or plastic wrap. Let sit for 12 – 24 hours.

4. The next day, place dough on a clean, lightly floured surface and roll into a long log. I use a silicone baking mat for pastry. Slice in half, making 2 logs, then divide each 1/2 log into 6. You should have 12 dough balls.

steps to shaping tortilla dough balls

5. Roll out each dough ball into a thin round tortilla.

6. Heat a cast iron pan with coconut oil.

7. Place one tortilla in pan and cook until golden brown (about 1 min), flip and cook other side until golden brown. Try only flipping once.

8. Remove from heat, set aside. Repeat 11 more times.

Tip: I use 2 cast iron pans simultaneously to speed up overall cooking time. I place the cooked tortillas in the toaster over on warm setting to keep them warm.

How to Store Sourdough Tortillas

  • Stack tortillas with a piece of parchment paper between each layer.
  • Cover using either beeswax sheet or tin foil.

Simple Old Fashion Sourdough Pancake and Waffle Recipe

May 8, 2021 by Leslie Helen 6 Comments

This is my families favourite way to make sourdough pancake and waffle. It reminds me of when I was a little girl cooking with my Nana. This old-fashioned sourdough recipe combines the flavours of sourdough, vanilla and cinnamon, gets a little crispy on the outside while maintaining a soft texture on the inside. This recipe is perfect because it works well for both pancakes and waffles.

Sourdough Starter

If you don’t have a starter on the go, check out my post on How to Start a Sourdough Starter From Scratch, or if making one from scratch isn’t your vibe, check out my Focaccia Bread post in which I give options for acquiring a ready to use sourdough starter.

Recommended Tools

  • Cast iron skillet
  • Cast iron skillet, set of 3
  • Waffle maker
  • Measuring spoons
  • Bowls, set of 5

Old Fashioned Sourdough Pancake and Waffle Recipe

Batter Ingredients

  • 2 cups sourdough starter, fed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup pure desi ghee (can use regular melted butter or melted coconut oil). Ghee has a flavourful buttery flavour that helps give this recipe the old-fashion flavour.
desi ghee and coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp cinnamon (can use less or omit if cinnamon isn’t your thing)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1-2 tbsp extra ghee or coconut oil for cooking

Making the Batter

  1. The night before (or 12-14 hours before you want to use your starter), fed starter. This will ensure it will be nice and bubbly when you want to use it.

  1. Add the wet ingredients to a bowl (fed sourdough starter, eggs, ghee, vanilla). Stir to combine.
  2. Add the salt and cinnamon and stir making sure to get rid of any lumps and clumps.
  3. Add the baking soda and stir. This is my favourite part, watching the batter bubble up!

Old-Fashioned Sourdough Pancakes

pancakes on plate
  1. Heat cast-iron skillet over medium to low heat (I use 2 skillets to make the process go faster)
  2. Melt oil of choice (ghee, butter, or coconut)
  3. Add 1/3 cup of bubbly batter to the center of the cast iron skillet
  4. Cook until multiple bubbles form (about 1 min)
  5. Flip and continue cooking. Only flip once. When Pancake is easy to remove (doesn’t stick) it’s probably ready.
  6. Stack them on a plate and place in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Old-Fashioned Sourdough Waffles

  1. Heat your waffle maker
  2. Once ready, add 1/3 cup of batter to the center of the waffle maker, close the lid
  3. Follow cooking instructions to waffle maker. For mine, it is ready when the light turns green from red.
  4. Stack them on a plate and place in a warm oven until ready to serve.
