Sourdough Cranberry Banana Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×5 loaf pan with butter.

Step 2

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Stir well.

Step 3

Mix butter and brown sugar for 5 minutes with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in room temperature eggs, one at a time.

Step 5

Once eggs are combined, add maple syrup, mashed bananas, stirred sourdough starter, orange zest and orange juice.

Step 6

Fold in dry ingredients a bit at a time until just incorporated, then mix in the cranberries.

Step 7

Pour into a greased pan and top with a few sliced cranberries.

Step 8

Generously dust coconut sugar or brown sugar on top of the loaf.

Step 9

Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. Test bread at 55 minutes with a toothpick or cake tester. Bread is ready to come out of the oven when the cake tester comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow to cool in the loaf pan for one hour.
