Ingredients

• 100 grams Rolled oats
• 240 milliliters Milk
• 125 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 120 grams Sourdough discard (unfed)
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 75 grams Chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Add the sourdough discard, brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the soaked oats and milk. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the optional nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for later enjoyment.
