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 healthy 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.
What’s In This Vegan Sourdough Muffin Recipe?
- All Purpose Flour: we only use King Arthur organic flour on this homestead, because I love the texture and flavor… plus they are a New England business, so I like to support local!
- Cinnamon: I load the cinnamon in these muffins, which gives them an amazing flavor and hint of spice.
- Baking Powder: I like this low sodium baking powder which is great for keeping the sodium down in baked goods.
- Baking Soda
- Ground Ginger: I love adding ground ginger to any muffin that has cinnamon – the ginger gives it a nice kick and spicy flavor.
- Salt
- White Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Coconut Oil: I am a huge fan of baking with this organic coconut oil! It’s also great for using outside the kitchen as a skin moisturizer for dry weather.
- Vanilla Extract: make sure you use pure vanilla extract and not that phony stuff!
- Almond Milk: I like this shelf-stable almond milk from Silk which keeps in the pantry for over a year!
- Sourdough Discard: you can buy sourdough starter here, or I have a great guide on how to make your own in one week!
- Walnuts: because YUM. I stocked up a few bags of these Amazon-brand walnuts which are super cheap and a great value for the quality.
- Blueberries: I used frozen, but you can use fresh, dried, or canned.
How Do I Make These Vegan Blueberry Muffins with Sourdough Starter?
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a muffin pan, or insert muffin liners into the cups.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Add the white sugar, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix until a thick stock dough forms.
- 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.
- Lastly, fold in the blueberries. Fill each muffin cup with batter. Bake for 24-30 minutes until muffins have started to brown on top and are cooked through all the way. Mangia!

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