Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour provides structure
  • 2 tsp baking powder creates a light texture
  • 1 tbsp orange zest adds a citrusy aroma
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt enhances overall flavor

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard adds moisture and tang
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup natural sweetness
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil adds richness
  • 2 large eggs binds ingredients together
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract adds warmth

Mix-ins

  • 1.5 cups frozen blueberries provides bursts of flavor

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, orange zest, and kosher salt.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sourdough discard, pure maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely blended.
  • Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, using a rubber spatula to gently fold until just combined.
  • Carefully fold in the frozen blueberries.

Baking

  • Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or grease it lightly. Spoon the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin.
