Description
A cozy and delicious pumpkin spice bread made with sourdough discard, perfect for any time of year.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups sourdough starter discard
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup canola oil
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
- Stir your sourdough discard and let it sit until you see some bubbles forming—about 5 minutes.
- Combine your dry ingredients by whisking together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, and cloves.
- Mix the moist ingredients in a large bowl: pumpkin puree, mashed bananas, brown sugar, canola oil, molasses, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the brown sugar is fully incorporated.
- Stir in your bubbly sourdough discard until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the flour mixture. Start by whisking, then switch to a spoon to stir gently until there’s no dry flour.
- Add in the raisins and walnuts.
- Divide the batter between your prepared loaf pans and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for another 30 minutes before slicing.
