Packed with flavour, nutrients, and the goodness of sourdough, these muffins make for the perfect snack, a light meal, or kids lunch box filler. Plus, they're a fantastic way to use up your sourdough starter discard!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-raising flour (130g)
- 1/4 cup milk (60g)
- 100g active sourdough starter
- 1 large zucchini, grated
- 1 carrot, grated
- 100g canned corn, drained
- 3 eggs
- 150g grated light cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare silicone muffin tins.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined. The sourdough starter adds a subtle tanginess that complements the sweetness of the veggies perfectly.
- Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin tins. Don't worry if the batter seems thick – it will bake beautifully!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are great on their own or paired with a fresh salad for a light lunch.
Why Sourdough?
Using sourdough starter in these muffins not only adds flavour but also boosts their nutritional profile. Sourdough fermentation helps to break down gluten and other nutrients, making them easier for your body to digest. Plus, it adds a delightful depth of flavour that you won't find in regular muffins.
Customise Your Muffins:
Feel free to customise these muffins to suit your taste. Add chopped herbs, diced capsicum, or even a sprinkle of chilli for an extra kick.
Make Ahead and Storage:
These muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They also freeze well – simply thaw and reheat for a quick and convenient snack.
Whether you're looking for a healthy snack option or a tasty addition to your mealtime lineup, our Sourdough Veggie Muffins are sure to please. Bursting with veggies and the goodness of sourdough, they're a delightful treat for any occasion.
