These tangy and chocolaty Sourdough Discard Chocolate Chip Muffins are moist, tender, and easy to make. They are also a great way to use that sourdough discard!
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
240 g Flour, 175 g Sugar, 20 g Baking powder, 1 tsp Baking soda, 4 g Salt
In a medium bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Whisk them together until you have a smooth consistency.
84 g Milk, 100 g Eggs, 60 g Sour cream, 55 g Avocado oil, 100 g Sourdough discard, 20 g Vanilla extract
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together. Be careful not to overmix—stop when there are no large flour streaks and the batter is just combined.
Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and fold them into the batter, distributing them evenly.
8 oz Chocolate chips
Fill each muffin cup about a little over ¾ full with the batter using an ice cream scoop or spoon.
Add the muffin tin into the oven and bake at 425°F(218°C) for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, reduce the temperature to 375°F(190°C) and bake for about 5-10 more minutes.
After baking, let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve your sourdough discard chocolate chip muffins with a glass of milk or your favorite coffee or tea.
Notes
This recipe yields 12 regular-size muffins. If you use the tulip liners, double the recipe and increase the batter per muffin.
Reduce baking time to 10-15 minutes to turn this into mini muffins.
