My Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

My chocolate chip muffin recipe is simple and only takes 10 minutes of prep and about 30 minutes of baking. You will have to practice patience to wait for them to cool, but it’s worth the wait.

I think muffins are my favorite sweet sourdough discard recipe. I love making a lot of savory sourdough discard recipes, like my flaky sourdough discard biscuits and crispy sourdough crackers.

We need to experiment with more muffins like this and cookies in the future. I know so many of you would love to have many more discard recipes on our blog.

Healthy Chocolate chip muffins

For the healthiest chocolate chip muffins, I suggest using organic flour, organic cane sugar, and minimal ingredient, dark chocolate chips.

I don’t add much sugar to my muffins, so they aren’t overly sweet. A little bit of natural sugar in a from-scratch muffin is perfectly healthy.

Sourdough Discard Muffins

We consider these “sourdough discard” muffins because you use sourdough starter in the recipe, but we don’t use it for rising, and it is not necessary for the baking process.

So the starter is considered “discarded” into the recipe. I use a stirred-down active, bubbly sourdough starter in my muffins. You can use flat sourdough discard from the fridge if you prefer.

I use a 12-compartment muffin pan, but you can use a 6-compartment pan for bigger cafe-style muffins.
