Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line 15 muffin tin wells with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth. Stir in the active sourdough starter, sour cream, and milk.
  • Whisk until the starter is fully broken up and the mixture is creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet. Fold gently with a spatula. Stop when you still see a few streaks of flour.
  • Add the berries. Give the batter 2–3 final folds until the flour streaks just disappear. Do not overmix!
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each a little more than ¾ of the way. Batter will be thick.
  • Bake at 375°F for 18–22 minutes. Check at 18 minutes: Press the top of a muffin lightly; if it springs back and a toothpick comes out clean, they are done.
  • Allow muffins to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying.
