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.

- All Purpose Flour
- Cinnamon: I load the cinnamon in these muffins, which gives them an amazing flavor and hint of spice.

- Brown Sugar
- Coconut Oil: I am a huge fan of baking with this organic coconut oil!
- Vanilla Extract: make sure you use pure vanilla extract and not that phony stuff!

- Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen, whatever you can find at the store in season.
How Do I Make Vegan Muffins with Sourdough Starter?

- In a large bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Add the white sugar, brown sugar, melted 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.
- 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).
- Bake for 24-30 minutes until muffins have started to brown on top and are cooked through all the way. Enjoy!

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!
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.
