Equipment

  • 6 extra large hole muffin tin

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 180 g All Purpose Flour
  • 100 g Brown Sugar
  • 140 g Raisins
  • 100 g Rolled Oats
  • 3 g Salt (approx half tsp)
  • 15 g Baking Powder (approx 2 tsp)
  • 2 g Ground Cinnamon (approx 2 tsp)
  • ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 200 g Sourdough Starter (can be discard or active starter)
  • 60 g Melted Butter (or coconut oil)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 250 g Milk
  • 5 g Vanilla Extract (approx 2 tsp)
  • 1 tbsp Orange Zest (zest of one large orange)

Topping

  • 30 g Rolled Oats
  • 30 g Brown Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200C (400F).
  • Grease a jumbo 6 hole muffin tin with butter and set aside.
  • Mix together the brown sugar and oats for the topping and set aside.
  • Add all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, add all of the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
  • Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
  • Mix until just combined (a little dry flour is perfectly ok). Don't over mix or you'll get tough muffins.
  • Spoon the muffin mixture into the muffin tin (I've filled them to the top for a jumbo bakery style muffin).
  • Sprinkle the muffins with the topping of brown sugar and oats.
  • Bake for approximately 30 minutes at 200C (400F) until golden brown.

Notes

Sourdough Starter
You can use active sourdough starter or sourdough discard in these sourdough muffins. The main thing is that the discard isn't too old or the sour flavor will overpower the muffins. I have made these several times with different sourdough starters and I much prefer making them with sourdough starter that has been fed within the last 24 hours.
 
Muffin Tin
I've use a giant 6 hole muffin tin to make 6 bakery style muffins. You could use a 12 hole muffin tin for smaller muffins if you prefer.
 
Raisins
You can substitute the raisins for any type of dried fruit you like. Dried cranberries and cherries both work really well.
