Equipment

1 muffin pan
1 large mixing bowl
1 electric Mixer

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
  • 8 tablespoons (112 g) unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (150 g) honey (or an additional 1/2 cup sugar)
  • ½ cup (100 g) sourdough discard
  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons (8 g) vanilla
  • 2 (236 g) ripe bananas mashed with a fork
  • 1 cup (148 g) blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon (1 g) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2 g) apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon (2 g) salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease/line a muffin tin.
  • In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, honey, Greek yogurt, vanilla, bananas, apple cider vinegar, and sourdough discard
    8 tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup honey , 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 2 ripe bananas, ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar, ½ cup sourdough discard
  • Mix until well combined (about 30 seconds using a stand mixer or electric handheld)
  • In a medium size bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • Add into the stand mixer and mix another 30 seconds until ingredients are just combined.
  • Fold in blueberries gently. If you are using frozen blueberries, I typically run under warm water for 30 seconds to partially thaw them before adding.
  • Scoop into muffin tin filling each cup about 3/4 of the way up.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes. You can insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean you know they are done baking.
  • Allow muffins to cool in tin for a few minutes before moving to cooling rack.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe was updated in May of 2025: to updated photos and add the addition of baking soda and apple cider vinegar for an increased rise in the muffins.
Overly ripe bananas work best in this recipe.
Try not to overmix the batter as it can create dense muffins.
Store in airtight container on counter for up to 4 days. Place in a single layer in a freezer bag for about 3 months.
