Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Melt 1/3 cup of butter and allow it to cool, then stir it into the banana mixture.
  4. Mix in 1 cup of sourdough starter until combined, making sure there are no lumps.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup white sugar.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no flour streaks remain.
