Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until just combined and smooth, being careful not to overmix to ensure a tender crumb.
  2. Prepare Streusel: In a small bowl, mix together sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Cut in cold diced butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Top with Streusel: Spoon the muffin batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin. Generously sprinkle the prepared streusel mixture over the top of each muffin, covering the batter completely.
  4. Bake Until Fluffy: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use an active, bubbly sourdough starter for the best rise and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
  • Keep the butter cold when making streusel for a crumbly texture.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a fresh-baked taste.
