Ingredients:
- Sourdough Starter: This is a mixture of flour and water that has undergone fermentation, usually with the help of wild yeast and bacteria. It adds a unique flavor and leavening properties to the muffins. It can be fed or unfed.
- Flour: The base ingredient providing structure to the muffins. All-purpose flour is commonly used, and it interacts with the starter for the right texture.
- Sugar: Adds sweetness to the muffins. It not only enhances the flavor but also contributes to the overall moisture. Organic cane sugar is what I used.
- Baking Soda: A leavening agent that reacts with acidic components (like sourdough starter or lemon juice) to help the muffins rise. I recommended Bob’s Red Mill Baking Soda.
- Baking Powder: Another leavening agent that adds additional lift to the muffins. It contains both an acid and a base and works in conjunction with the baking soda. I recommended Bob’s Red Mill Baking Powder.
- Salt: Enhances the flavor of the muffins and balances the sweetness.
- Melted Butter: Contributes to the moisture and richness of the muffins, adding a buttery flavor. Use unsalted butter.
- Sour Cream: Provides moisture and a subtle tangy flavor, contributing to the overall texture of the muffins.
- Vanilla: Adds a sweet and aromatic flavor, complementing the other ingredients.
- Egg: Acts as a binder, helping to hold the muffins together and providing structure.
- Chocolate Chips: Adds burst of chocolate throughout the muffins. I used semi sweet chocolate chips but you can use any kind.
- Strawberries: Fresh or frozen strawberries will work great.
How to make Sourdough Chocolate Chip Strawberry Muffins:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.
- In a separate mixing bowl combine the wet ingredients: sourdough starter, sour cream, vanilla, and egg. Whisk all together.
- Add in cooled melted butter to the wet ingredients and whisk.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together just until all of the flour is hydrated. Make sure not to over mix.
- Add in strawberries with chocolate chips and fold into the dough.
- Grease your muffin pan if you’re not using muffin liners.
- Spoon approximately 4 tablespoons of muffin batter into each portion.
- Bake for 18-20 mins. Don’t over bake or it will be dry. You can check if the inside is cooked by inserting a clean wooden toothpick in the middle of the muffin. If it comes out clean, take them out and let the muffins cool.
- Enjoy!
