The Best Vegan Sourdough Discard Muffins!

This Sourdough blueberry muffin recipe is the perfect way to use your sourdough discard from a starter. I hate throwing out food (or rather, composting it!)- so I’m always looking for ways to reuse kitchen scraps to cut back on waste.

Instead of tossing your discard when you feed your sourdough starter, try this tasty breakfast recipe instead. I have a whole page on my site for recipes that use sourdough discard. That way you can add a hint of sourdough flavor to your baked goods, and cut back on food waste.

  3. Add the white sugar, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix until a thick stock dough forms.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed and water together and let sit for a minute until it thickens. Add it to the bowl and add the Sourdough starter, mix well.
  5. Lastly, fold in the blueberries. Fill each muffin cup with batter.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon sugar crumble mixture. Top each muffin with 1/2 teaspoon or so of the cinnamon sugar crumble mixture (optional).

    I’ve made these twice… once just as written and earlier today for the second batch, I made a few changes. I omitted the cinnamon, swapped the coconut oil for canola, used raspberries and blueberries, added the zest of one orange, and topped them with pure cane sugar flavored with molasses.

    Both were amazing, but the one I did the swaps on turned out to be the best muffins I’ve ever made.

    I really love how these muffins turn out! Perfect density, chewy and soft but not claggy, though also not super airy. Also not too sweet. I’m addicted! And what a great way to use up discard sourdough starter.

    I combined steps 3 and 4, though, since mixing in the flax eggs and sourdough starter after having already mixed together the thick batter felt like just extra punishment. After mixing all the dry ingredients together, I poured all the wet ingredients in and mixed them at once. And then after it was all incorporated, I folded in the blueberries. It worked just fine.

    I’m excited to try this recipe with other mix-ins, spices, and toppings. I added nutmeg and allspice along with the cinnamon, which was yummy. Will try strawberries and other berries for the mix-in, and perhaps even bananas, plantains, nuts, and seeds. I can imagine a good pumpkin version of this, as well. Of course chocolate or carob chips would be delicious. This is a great muffin base for either sweet or more savory additions. Looking forward to getting creative!

  3. Thank you for the recipe, I started making these for my family about 4 months ago, and I also add 1/3 cup of hemp seeds, and carob chips. My family loves them.

    These are very good. I will be making again. I try not to use oil so I did substitute applesauce for the oil.
