Description
Sourdough Pumpkin Muffins combine the warmth of fall spices with the tangy depth of sourdough. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, these moist muffins are easy to make and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil (or melted butter), eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice (or your chosen spice mix), and salt. Stir well.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active for the best rise.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce.
- For a lighter option, use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer storage.
