I’m a big fan of breakfast food. Waffles. Popovers. Muffins.
I’m also a big fan of using up my sourdough starter whenever possible. The less waste in my kitchen, the better.
So when I discovered this sourdough discard cinnamon muffin recipe, I had to give it a try.
And I’m so glad I did.
These muffins are light, sweet, and soft. Unlike some of my other sourdough discard recipes, you can barely taste the sourdough tang. Although it uses up a lot of discard, the flavor is subtle and it blends well with the cinnamon and nutmeg flavors.
They taste great all on their own. But with a little butter and an extra smidge of cinnamon sugar, these muffins quickly go from delicious to divine.
