Tender, moist, and full of plump blueberries, these Sourdough Discard Blueberry Muffins are an easy everyday treat. This recipe comes together in minutes and has an overnight option so these muffins are ready to bake whenever you are.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup or 113 grams buttermilk or whole milk
  • 1/2 cup or 140 grams sourdough discard
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup or 113 grams melted unsalted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon or 14 grams vanilla extract
  • Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups or 240 grams all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup or 150 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon or 14 grams baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon or 2.4 grams baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon or 3 grams salt
  • Additional Ingredients
  • 2 cups or 1 pint or about 325 grams fresh blueberries
  • a few tablespoons sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a cupcake tin with 12 paper liners.
  2. Add all wet ingredients to a bowl or large glass measuring cup and whisk to combine.
  3. Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  4. Add wet mixture into dry mixture and stir until almost combined. Add blueberries and continue mixing until no dry patches of flour remain and blueberries are mixed into the batter.
  5. Optional overnight instructions: Once batter comes together, you can cover and refrigerate overnight. Scoop and bake the next morning. Again, this is optional.
  6. Divide batter evenly between 12 muffin tins and top with a sprinkle of sugar if desired. 
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes in preheated oven.

Notes

I did not add a crumble to this batch, but a crumble or streusel topping is always a good idea. Use the oat crumble recipe from my Mulberry Crumble Muffins or the streusel recipe from my Blueberry Streusel Muffins recipe. Or simply sprinkle with a bit of sugar before baking like I do.
