Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, sugar, melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking or add a lemon zest twist to brighten the muffins.
