How to Make Banana Muffins with Sourdough Discard

These sourdough discard banana muffins are a perfect blend of tangy and sweet, made with overripe bananas and sourdough discard for a unique twist. Moist and fluffy, they’re ideal for breakfast, a snack, or dessert!

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add melted butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and sourdough discard to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the bananas are overripe for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.
  • You can substitute sourdough discard with buttermilk or yogurt if needed.
