  • Digital Scales
  • 12 Hole Muffin Tin

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 200 g Sourdough Starter Discard or Active Starter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 60 g Melted Butter
  • 60 g Buttermilk or milk or sour cream
  • 5 g Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 150 g Chocolate Chunks I've used milk chocolate but use whatever you love to eat.
  • 170 g All Purpose Flour
  • 50 g Brown Sugar
  • 50 g Fine Sugar
  • 6 g Baking Powder (1 tsp)
  • 5 g Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F and grease a 12 hole muffin tin with butter.
  • Mix the sourdough starter, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract and melted butter in a bowl. Whisk together until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl mix together chocolate chunks, sugars, all purpose flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Now pour the liquid ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just mixed - don't over mix or the muffins will be tough.

  • Spoon mixture into greased muffin tin. This recipe will fill a 12 hole muffin (each hole around ¾ full). For larger muffins, use a 6 hole, large muffin tin.
  • Bake at 180C/350F for approximately 20 minutes or until muffins are golden brown.

Notes

Buttermilk - I have added buttermilk to this recipe because I love the flavor it brings. We always have lots of buttermilk on hand from making our own butter. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute with plain milk, sour cream or yoghurt. 
Tins/Muffin Tray - I have used a 6 hole muffin tray for larger muffins - you can use a 12 hole, you'll just get smaller muffins. I prefer to larger muffins as they are closer to a bakery style muffin.
