If you have sourdough discard to use up, these blueberry sourdough muffins are an excellent option. They highlight bright blueberry and orange flavors, use a generous amount of discard, and lean toward the healthier side of muffins.
Muffins can be anything from a light breakfast to a decadent treat. These sourdough discard blueberry muffins sit closer to the lighter end: tender, slightly springy crumbs from the discard, plenty of juicy blueberries, and a fresh citrus note from orange zest. They work well for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
While this version pairs orange with blueberry, other citrus and fruit combinations also work beautifully—lemon and raspberry is a favorite variation. The sourdough base adds subtle tang and texture without overwhelming the fruit flavors.
