Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Baking Time: 20-25 minutes
Total Time: 40-45 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins

Intensity: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sourdough discard
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Add Blueberries:
   • Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill Muffin Cups:
   • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake Muffins:
   • If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar for a crunchy topping. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
