INGREDIENTS
DRY INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups (240 g) all purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- zest of half a lemon
- 1 cups (150 g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
WET INGREDIENTS
- 8 tablespoons (113 g) butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (125 g) sourdough starter discard
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) vanilla extract
CRUMB TOPPING
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) butter ( melted)
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (60 g) all purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
- Crumb topping: Place the melted butter, flour and sugar in a bowl and use a fork to mix until it becomes a coarse crumble. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a 12 count muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously to prevent sticking.
- Dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, corn starch, lemon zest and salt with a fork. Add the blueberries and toss the mixture to coat. Set aside.
- Wet ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (If the batter is too stiff, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk to help thin it down.)
- Divide the batter evenly into 12 muffins and sprinkle the top with the crumble topping. Make sure to press the crumble, gently, on the top of the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing to cool on a cooling rack.
NOTES
- Store the muffins loosely covered, at room temperature, for up to 3 days.
- Freeze the muffins wrapped in plastic wrap, inserted into a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
