Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Digital Scales
  • 12 Hole Muffin Tin

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g Sourdough Starter Discard or Active Starter
  • 200 g All Purpose Flour
  • 200 g Pumpkin Puree canned or homemade
  • 100 g Brown sugar
  • 50 g Butter
  • 50 g Vegetable Oil Light flavor
  • 2 Eggs
  • 6 g Baking Powder (1 tsp)
  • 5 g Vanilla Extract
  • 5 g Salt (1 tsp)
  • 3 g Cinnamon (1 tsp)
  • 1 g Nutmeg (¼ tsp)

Orange Cinnamon Glaze

  • 50 g Powdered sugar
  • 20 g Orange Juice freshly squeezed
  • 3 g Cinnamon (1 tsp)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F and grease a 12 hole muffin tin with butter.
  • Mix the sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, vanilla extract, butter and oil in a bowl. Whisk together until well combined. It's ok if the oil sits on the top, it will combine once it is poured into the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl mix together all purpose flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar.
  • 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).
  • Bake at 180C/350F for approximately 20 minutes or until muffins are golden brown.
  • While the muffins are baking, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon and juice of an orange into a bowl and stir together to form the glaze.
  • Once the muffins are done, take out of the oven and spoon over the glaze while the muffins are still warm.
  • Cool muffins on a wire rack.
