Sourdough Dark Chocolate Muffins

If you are maintaining a sourdough starter and don’t want to waste the discard or you have a ton of starter and don’t know what to do with it… These yummy chocolate muffins are the answer!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups sourdough starter

1 egg

⅓ cup milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil ( I used melted coconut oil)

1 sachet vanilla sugar

a pinch of salt

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (a mix of wholemeal and all-purpose flour works perfect in this recipe)

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ cup light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (I used 72% Cocoa Dark Chocolate).

Method:

 1.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease one 12-cup muffin tin (you can use muffin liners or muffin silicon cups).

 2.

Mix very well flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, vanilla sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

 3.

In a large bowl combine and whisk well  the sourdough starter, egg, milk and oil. 

Stir in the flour- sugar mixture until just combined. 

Fold in the chocolate chips. 

 4.

Fill muffin tins/cups about 2/3 of the way full.

Bake at 200 C for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are ready and golden brown.

Enjoy!
