In this post I will show you how to make pumpkin sourdough discard muffins. I love this recipe because it utilizes a whole can of pumpkin! No leftover pumpkin to get forgotten in the fridge. It makes about 24 muffins and you can freeze the leftovers.
Sourdough discard muffins have a thick, chewy texture with a pleasantly sour taste to them. We love these so much! They have been a welcome addition to our fall food rotation. I utilize my homemade organic vanilla extract in this recipe to add good flavor.
Muffins are a great quick breakfast or healthy lunch box addition. Pairing muffins with a good protein source like eggs or sausage will round out the breakfast and make if fulfilling.
