Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sourdough Blueberry Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, yogurt, sourdough discard, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, then fold in the blueberries.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until golden. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
