Delight in these moist and flavorful sourdough chocolate chip muffins that combine the tangy depth of sourdough starter with rich, melty chocolate chips for a perfect breakfast or snack treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra touch, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of the muffins before baking to add a delightful crunch.
