Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Digital Scales
  • 12 Hole Muffin Tin

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 200 g Sourdough Starter Discard or Active Starter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 60 g Vegetable Oil
  • 50 g Orange Juice Juice of 1 orange
  • 5 g Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 120 g Dried Cranberries
  • 200 g All Purpose Flour
  • 70 g Sugar Baker's Sugar, Caster Sugar, Granulated Sugar
  • 12 g Baking Powder (2 tsp)
  • 5 g Salt
  • 100 g Green Apple Shredded (approx 1 large apple)
  • Orange Zest zest from 1 orange

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200C/400F and grease a 12 hole muffin tin with butter.
  • Mix the sourdough starter, eggs, orange juice, vanilla and oil in a bowl. Whisk together until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl mix together orange zest, cranberries, green apple, sugar, 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 200C/400F for approximately 20 minutes or until muffins are golden brown.

Notes

Orange - I have used the zest and juice from one large orange. Depending on how you zest your orange, you may need two. 
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.
