Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together sourdough discard, vegetable oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and whisk thoroughly.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in walnuts or pecans, and raisins or chocolate chips if desired, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice the bread into pieces and enjoy.
