Sourdough Discard Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins

Are you sick of muffins yet?

Yeah, me neither.

I’ve tried yet another winning sourdough discard recipe: chocolate chocolate chip muffins. And I’m in love with how they turned out.

You wouldn’t think sourdough discard and chocolate would go together so well, but they do! And it’s lovely. The tangy flavor from the discard and the rich flavor from the chocolate make these muffins the ultimate breakfast snack.

And of course, you can never have too many chocolate chip recipes, am I right?

  • Tried this. They were great. I cut the sides gar content by almost half though cause I don’t like ‘em too sweet.

  • These were so easy to put together and tasted really good- I don't really like sweet things, but followed the recipe to a T. I don't think they were sweet enough! :) But they were still tasty and delicious. Perhaps a tad on the dry side, but perfect for a breakfast muffin.

  • I had to adjust liquid amount a little, my starter was a little dry to begin with. I had used a chocolate sourdough starter I had made along with some regular starter (half and half). I also added some butterscotch chips for something fun and different and sprinkled a little sea salt on top. The aroma of these muffins cooking was divine and they tasted great. Nice easy recipe to work with… thanks for sharing! Oh, I also made larger muffins, so I made 6 and added about 7 minutes to the cook time.

  • Thanks for this recipe, easy to follow and delicious. Can’t wait to try your other recipes. I’m a newbie to the sourdough scene, I wanna make everything I can. Thanks again!

  • Really enjoyed them. I used dutch process dark cocoa powder to counter the overall sweetness. And my only concern while making the mix was that it basically turned into a big semi-solid mass similar to bread dough. Did I do something wrong?

    • Sounds like your dough was a bit dry. There are a few things that could cause that- did you measure by volume or by weight? Measuring by weight is more accurate while by volume could lead to extra flour in the batter. Also, is your sourdough starter a stiff starter? Mine is fed equal parts water and flour, so it's more liquid. A stiff starter might need a smidge more water to balance it out.

  • I made these and just placed them in the oven. My wife has been asking for muffins all week long. I'm sure she'll enjoy them. Just one exception: I always count sugar as a wet ingredient, but other than that I added some chopped nuts.

  • A favorite in my house and at work! I plan to try resting the batter overnight to break down the gluten so my sister in law can eat them as she is gluten sensitive.
