Throw together a small batch of muffins using your leftover sourdough discard. Chocolate chip is best, but make any kind of muffin you like!

Ingredients

  • 110 grams sourdough discard (unfed or leftover)
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl or a stand mixer, add the sourdough discard, egg, melted butter, milk, and sugar. Beat until combined.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and ground nutmeg.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle into the large bowl with the wet ingredients. Beat only until combined—about 30 seconds. Do not over mix.

  5. 5

    Add in the chocolate chips (or 1/3 cup of any other fillings you desire). Fold into the batter using a rubber spatula for another 30 seconds—only until the ingredients are combined. Again, do not over mix.

  6. 6

    Line a muffin tin with liners or silicone muffin cups. Scoop the batter evenly into the 12 cups—it should fill between 1/2 and 3/4 of each cup.

  7. 7

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
