Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour see notes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 ½ cups mashed banana about 3 bananas
  • ½ cup liquid oil like melted coconut oil, melted butter, or olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line two muffin tins with papers or silicone liners.
  • Add all dry ingredients (flour through salt) to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Add all wet ingredients (sugar through eggs) to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Carefully add dry ingredients to wet and stir to combine, being sure not to over mix. I like to use a Danish dough whisk for batters like this.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove to a rack to cool completely before storing.

Notes

  • This recipe is for sourdough discard, which is sourdough starter that needs to be fed or isn't active enough for true sourdough bread.
  • I use all-purpose flour for muffins, but you can also use fresh ground wheat. I recommend soft white for baking muffins. Soft never works with yeast, but is perfect for baking with baking powder and soda. Soft red will work but red has a stronger taste than white.
  • If you are using fresh ground wheat, let the batter rest before baking so the batter hydrates. I do this by mixing up the batter and putting in the muffin tin, and then preheating the oven to give the batter a rest before baking.
