Sourdough Blueberry Cinnamon Muffins are quickly becoming a favorite at our house. Our middle daughter and her family are always excited when I make these muffins, because, of course, I am pleased to share with them.
Preheat oven to 425℉. Spray muffin tin with baking spray or line with muffin papers. Rinse 2 cups blueberries with cold water and drain in colander.
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Place 1 cup sourdough starter in another bowl along with 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg. Mix together with a fork or dough whisk to combine. Blend the sourdough into the flour mixture, until thoroughly combined.
Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries just until blended.
Try not to overmix the muffin batter to avoid coneheads that might develop during baking, or a tough crumb.
Bake the Muffins
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling two-thirds full. If desired, sprinkle with 3 teaspoons decorating sugar or demerara sugar.
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to set for 5 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with butter or honey butter for brunch or a morning snack.
Store in a covered container for up to 3 days, or freeze in a plastic freezer bag for up to 2 months. This recipe will serve 10-12 people.
