Sourdough S'mores Banana Bread

This sourdough s'mores banana bread is a cozy twist on a classic, packed with gooey chocolate chunks, crushed graham crackers, and toasted marshmallows. With the added depth of sourdough starter and the sweetness of ripe bananas, every slice is rich, moist, and irresistibly nostalgic.

Equipment

Loaf Pan (I've used a 1 pound USA pan)

Ingredients

200 g Bananas (approx. 3 medium overripe bananas)
2 Eggs (mine were approx. 60g each)
80 g Butter (melted - can be salted or unsalted)
100 g Sourdough Starter (discard or fed & bubbly)
200 g All Purpose Flour
30 g Cocoa Powder
12 g Baking Powder
100 g Brown Sugar
50 g White Sugar
3 g Salt
70 g Graham Crackers (I've used sourdough graham crackers)
86 g Hershey's Milk Chocolate Pieces (2 bars broken into pieces)
70 g Marshmallows (either mini marshmallows or larger ones chopped up)

Topping

30 g Graham Crackers (I've used sourdough graham crackers)
43 g Hershey's Milk Chocolate Pieces (1 bar broken into pieces)
30 g Marshmallows

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease a loaf pan with butter and set aside.
Mash the overripe bananas with the back of a fork until they are fairly smooth (a few lumps is fine).
Now add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bananas and whisk through until well combined, followed by the melted butter.
Now add the sourdough starter to the egg mixture and mix throughly. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the white sugar, brown sugar, all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder and Hershey's pieces and ensure that everything is mixed thoroughly.
Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour the mixture into the pan you prepared earlier. Top the banana bread batter with the remaining marshmallows, graham crackers and Hershy's pieces.
Bake at 180C/350F for around 1 hour. Baking time will depend on the size of your pan and your oven. The sourdough s'mores banana bread is cooked when a skewer is inserted and comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 30 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. I recommend cooling fully for easier slicing.
