Sourdough Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Delicious muffins sweetened with honey and made with sourdough starter!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter (can be active or discard)
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large apples peeled and diced
Topping (optional-sugar free)
- 1 cup oats
- 3 tbsp honey
Topping (optional-non sugar free)
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉
- Combine sourdough starter and warm water while you soften butter.
- Mix starter/water mixture, butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- In a separate container mix baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and all-purpose flour.
- Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients until everything has been mixed together. (If using a stand mixer you can just dump all the flour mixture in at once.)
- Add in diced apples last.
- Scoop muffin batter into a muffin pan (I like to use liners for easy clean up but if your pan is properly greased it is not necessary). Fill nearly to the top.
- If you desire to top the muffins with sprinkle topping mixture of your choice on the the muffin batter. Sugar Free Topping: mix oats and honey together with a fork, then top before baking.
- Bake on 350℉ for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
