Waste Not Want Not

I hate nothing more than throwing away food. It’s like throwing money in the trash. I take the bones from the chicken to make bone broth. I use vegetable scraps to make compost which grows into new vegetables. Although black bananas can easily be tossed in the compost pile, I’ve found something better. Double chocolate sourdough banana muffins of course! 

If there are not enough bananas right away, I peel them and put them in the freezer. Once I have a collection, it’s double chocolate sourdough banana muffins time. Make sure you label the bag you put in the freezer or you will never remember what’s in it. Trust me. I’ve pulled out an unlabeled bag of bananas more than once and struggled to figure out what the heck I had frozen. Save yourself the trouble and label the bag. Someday I will get smart and take my own advice too.

My husband gave me a vacuum sealer for Christmas several years ago. He knew I really wanted one and I was thrilled. It is now my go to device when it comes to putting food in the freezer. I cut the bag a bit big the first time, so that I can cut it open to add more bananas and still have enough plastic to seal it back. Ziplocs work too and I used them until I got the vacuum sealer. When thawing the bananas I suggest putting them in the sink. They produce a lot of liquid when they thaw out and it’s a mess to clean up. Trust me and just put it in the sink.

Breakfast on the Go

I am not a morning person. So that means I’m always on the lookout for a good quick breakfast idea that can be made up ahead of time and frozen. Double chocolate sourdough banana muffins freeze well and make for a really easy breakfast. One batch makes about 18 muffins, so they last for a long time in the freezer. When we are preparing to travel, I make up a batch of muffins to take with us for an easy breakfast.

Double Chocolate Sourdough Banana Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

8 tablespoons butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

3 bananas

½ cup sourdough discard

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 ½ cup flour

½ cup cocoa powder

1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. First cream 8 tablespoons of room temperature butter and 1 cup of sugar together. For any of you like me, that means mixing them together really well. I use my KitchenAid.
2. Next add in 2 eggs and ½ cup sourdough discard.
3. Then mash 3 bananas before adding them to the bowl.
4. Now mix in ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 ½ cup of flour, and ½ cup cocoa powder. Mix it on low if using a mixer to avoid a flour cloud. 
5. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
6. Finally, grease a muffin tin or add some silicone liners. Scope the batter into the cup. I prefer to fill them to nearly the top because we like the bigger muffins. Then bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat for a dark pan. 325 should work. Or buy a new pan because you will burn everything you bake. Yes, I know this from experience too.
