Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (or vegan butter)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix sourdough discard, almond milk, coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Add blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Optionally, sprinkle some turbinado sugar on top.
  7. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk and coconut oil. For best results, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
