Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

For the muffins, gently toss blueberries with 2 teaspoons of flour to prevent sinking. Set aside. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. (3 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. (5 minutes)

08

Step

For the topping, combine sugar, flour, cold cubed butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the muffins. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (22 minutes)

11

Step

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For a tangier muffin, use sourdough discard straight from the refrigerator.
If using active sourdough starter, your muffins will have a lighter, airier texture. Reduce baking time by a few minutes.
Feel free to substitute other berries or add chopped nuts to the batter for a customized twist.
Muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

    I found that muffins are a bit too wet inside, maybe reduce the amount of sourdough next time
