Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Sourdough starter discard
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the oats.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter discard, egg, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Stir the soaked oats and milk into the wet ingredients until well combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 7

Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Evenly divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
