INGREDIENTS

- 2 cups (240 g) all purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- zest of half a lemon
- 1 cups (150 g) blueberries(fresh or frozen)
WET INGREDIENTS
- 8 tablespoons (113 g) butter(melted)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (125 g) sourdough starter discard
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) vanilla extract
CRUMB TOPPING
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) butter( melted)
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (60 g) all purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
- Crumb topping: Place the melted butter, flour and sugar in a bowl and use a fork to mixuntil it becomes a coarse crumble. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a 12 count muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously to prevent sticking.
- Dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, corn starch, lemon zest and salt with a fork. Add the blueberries and toss the mixture to coat. Set aside.
- Wet ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients until smooth. Pourthe wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (If the batter is too stiff, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk to help thin it down.)
- Divide the batter evenly into 12 muffins and sprinkle the topwith the crumble topping. Make sure to press the crumble, gently, on the top of the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removingto cool on a cooling rack.
NOTES
- Store the muffins loosely covered, at room temperature, for up to 3 days.
- Freeze the muffins wrapped in plastic wrap, inserted into a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Sourdough discard. Liquid or stiff?
What is sourdough discard?
Sourdough discard is the portion of your sourdough starter that you remove during feedings to keep it healthy. It’s essentially active sourdough culture that you don’t need for your next starter feeding. Don’t throw it away! It’s a fantastic ingredient for many recipes, including these muffins.
Just finished making a batch of these. They are delicious but lacked sweetness. Drizzled with cream cheese frosting which did the trick! Thanks for the tasty recipe!
