Homemade Sourdough Muffins Made with Starter or Discard
I made these Sourdough Muffins if I want a quick, easy-to-grab breakfast or snack time, and a way to use up sourdough starter discard. So, if you've ever wondered what else you can make besides sourdough bread, homemade sourdough muffins are a perfect place to start.
I use simple ingredients for this sourdough muffin recipe, and most of the recipes here use sourdough discard, which adds a light tang and helps reduce waste. My kids love muffins, and I'm sure yours will too. I hope you find something here to make for breakfast, a snack, or even to add to your kids' school lunch boxes.
