Categories     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 11

110 grams sourdough discard (unfed or leftover)
1 large egg
4 tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl or a stand mixer, add the sourdough discard, egg, melted butter, milk, and sugar. Beat until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and ground nutmeg.
  • Sprinkle into the large bowl with the wet ingredients. Beat only until combined-about 30 seconds. Do not over mix.
  • Add in the chocolate chips (or 1/3 cup of any other fillings you desire). Fold into the batter using a rubber spatula for another 30 seconds-only until the ingredients are combined. Again, do not over mix.
  • Line a muffin tin with liners or silicone muffin cups. Scoop the batter evenly into the 12 cups-it should fill between 1/2 and 3/4 of each cup.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
