Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Made With Sourdough Discard

A fun, kid-friendly way to use your sourdough discard! Recipe makes 12 moist, fluffy, chocolatey muffins with a hint of spice from the cinnamon and nutmeg. They can be made with your favorite chocolate chips or chopped wafers - I chose to go with extra dark chocolate by Guittard! Though I use all-purpose flour, a portion or all of the flour can be substituted for whole grain wheat. I also mix by hand or use a hand mixer, but feel free to use a stand mixer with whisk and paddle attachments if you prefer. Hope you give these a try!

I don't eat anything with sugar so I did eliminate the sugar. But I have never eaten such delicious muffins. They were light and Perfect.

Great video, super clear and easy to follow and I love your calm and knowledgeable voiceover! I am dropping by to say thank you because THIS video of yours has lead to the most traffic to my own video for sourdough Morning Glory muffins and I'm grateful for our common viewers! During the pandemic, my daughter has been stranded with me, away from her own home for over a year, so we have used the lockdown time to share healthy original recipes. YouTube growth is slow but rewarding when we connect with like-minded folks. Hope you are well and I will be watching your channel!

I baked these as some mini-mini muffins for 25 minutes on lower rack and also the rest in a rectangle non-stick small cake pan for 50 minutes to ensure the center is baked. Both gobbled up in 30 minutes by my son and husband and myself. Deviiine.

I’m trying your micro-feeding technique for tomorrow’s bake. I like that smaller amount of flour is used. It is very bubbly and lively. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
The muffins look fabulous! My favorite sweet discard recipe is the King Arthur’s Original Cake Pan Cake. Cheers!

What a great recipe! It worked magically. Thank you for all your work/videos. Could you please explain what is the role of starter in this recipe? It does not work as a rising agent, right? So, you add it just for taste?

[maiafelidae]

Delicious 😋! I will have to adapt the recipe to make it vegan but I think it will be easy to achieve the same results. Thank you! 💕

Baked these today. They turned out to be super moist, fluffy and delicious. Probably the best banana chocolate chip muffins I've even eaten! Do you think it's possible to reduce the sugar content without compromising the texture?
