Ingredients

  • ½ cup sourdough discard
  • 1 ½ cups flour, all purpose or gluten free flour
  • cup light brown sugar, or coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 egg
  • cup milk, regular or dairy free
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup oil
  • cup chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, add sourdough discard, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and sea salt. Stir until combined. Mixture may be crumbly.
  • Then, add in egg, milk, vanilla, and oil. Stir to combine.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Divide batter into the sprayed muffin pan.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Then lower oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake another 3 to 5 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Finally, remove pan from oven. Allow muffins to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully remove.

Notes

  • Both regular and gluten free sourdough discard can be used.  Stir before measuring.
  • Likewise, both regular all purpose and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used.
  • For these photos, I used gluten free sourdough discard, gluten free flour and coconut sugar.
  • The batter may be a little bit crumbly.  Continue mixing until mostly smooth.
  • Do not over bake muffins.  Mine were perfect at 14 minutes total.
  • Store muffins covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These muffins tend to firm up when placed in the fridge or freezer.  Therefore, I recommend eating them fresh.
