Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed, at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind works)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.

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

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

    4. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

    5. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

    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 a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.

    8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
