Ingredients
  

Muffin Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup milk lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine active sourdough starter and lukewarm milk. Stir until well combined.
  • Add granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, large egg, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay.
  • Gently fold in fresh or frozen blueberries. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  • Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a touch of lemon zest to the batter or use wild blueberries. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
