Ingredients
- butter for greasing or muffin liners
- 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (57 grams) bleached all purpose flour
- ¼ cup + 1 teaspoon (57grams) granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 4 ounces (113 grams) 100% hydration sourdough discard
- ¼ cup (2 ounces) buttermilk, shaken
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple, cored, peeled, and chopped into ¼ inch cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Butter eight cups in a twelve-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
- Brown the butter by melting and cooking it over a medium-low heat until it starts to leave brown bits at the bottom of the pan, swirling or stirring occasionally. This is right about when the bubbling sounds stop. Let cool slightly.
- Combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda) in a medium-large bowl.
- Combine the sourdough starter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl. Add the cooled butter, and then add this mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Stir just enough to wet the dry ingredients, and then add the apple and mix to stir.
- Use a large cookie scoop or large spoon to fill the muffin cups about two-thirds of the way full.
- Bake for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the muffin comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- This recipe will make 8 to 10 sourdough apple muffins.
- Use an apple that remains firm when cooked and has a strong apple flavor. You could use a tart apple (e.g. Granny Smith, Pink Lady) to increase the tang in these sourdough discard muffins, or any sweet, crisp apple.
- If you don't have sourdough discard, add 2 ounces (57 grams or one-third cup, for a total of 114 grams) of flour to the dry ingredients and an additional 2 ounces (one quarter cup, for a total of 4 ounces or one-half cup) of buttermilk or other liquid.
