Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup rolled oats (not instant)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup sourdough discard (unfed, straight from the fridge)

1/2 cup milk (any kind)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well with butter or non-stick spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, milk, melted and cooled butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon just until barely combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be lumpy.

5. Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
