Description

Delicious sourdough pumpkin muffins with a hint of spice. These muffins are moist, flavorful, and perfect for autumn.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup active sourdough starter
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the active sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted butter or coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in any optional additions like pecans or chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly for the best results.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your sweetness preference.
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
