Sourdough Banana Muffins

I am always looking out for sourdough recipes because the family is bored of the few usual things I make with sourdough starter. This is an easy peasy banana bread using sourdough starter. The bread uses no oil or butter, but was still very moist. The chocolate chips and strawberry add a nice touch, but can be skipped. Recipe adapted from here.

Pour into muffin cups or a mini-bread pan. Bake in a preheated 375F oven for for 18 to 20 minutes for muffins. Use a tooth pick to check if the bread is done. [For mini-bread I kept it for 22 min].

My Notes
1. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3rd full.
2. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips for a chocolate touch.
