These sourdough strawberry muffins are a great way to use up your discard. The strawberries and slight tang the sourdough gives are such a lovely combination!

Sourdough Strawberry Muffins

It has been awhile since I’ve posted a sourdough recipe. If you’ve stumbled upon this recipe but have never made sourdough before then I highly recommend using this easy method with blueberries for making your own sourdough starter.

Sourdough Strawberry Muffin

My kids loved these sourdough discard pumpkin muffins but since we are moving into strawberry season, it was time for something different. I personally love the combination of the tart and sweet strawberries with the slight tang of the sourdough discard in these muffins. These are lightly sweet muffin and are wonderful for breakfast or a quick snack.

🍓Ingredients needed

ingredients needed to make Sourdough Strawberry Muffins

For these muffins, you will need:

  • All purpose flour: The base of the muffins.
  • Sugar and brown sugar: To sweeten the muffins.
  • Salt: You will need just half of a teaspoon of salt.
  • Baking soda: To help the muffins rise.
  • Sourdough discard: I used unfed discard but feel free to use fed/ripe starter as well.
  • Vegetable oil: Or you can use safflower oil.
  • Egg: You will need one large egg for this recipe.
  • Vanilla extract: If possible, I recommend using pure vanilla extract for baking.
  • Strawberries: You will need one cup of strawberries (diced), cleaned and diced with the stems removed.

🔪 Equipment needed

You will need a large mixing bowl, hand or stand mixer, and a muffin tin.

⏲️ Recipe instructions

collage of the steps needed to make Sourdough Strawberry Muffins

To make these muffins, begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

Next, in a large mixing bowl combine your dry ingredients. Stir well with a large spoon.

Add in your wet ingredients and mix well with a hand or stand mixer.

Stir in diced strawberries with a large spoon.

Pour into a lined muffin tin. Fill each to ⅔s full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle of a muffin.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

  • Measure your strawberries carefully and cut them into small pieces. If there are too many or they are too big they will cause your muffins to be soggy.
  • Do not overfill your muffin liners.

📖 Variations

  • Try sprinkling some powdered sugar on top for a sweeter muffin.

📋 How to store leftovers

Store any leftovers muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They will be good for up to three days after making.

    I don’t normally comment on recipes, but I just had to on this one! I made these muffins this morning and they are the best strawberry muffins that I have ever made. I absolutely love strawberries (I eat them every day) and this recipe brought out that wonderful flavor in muffin form! I followed your directions completely. I think that the key to this recipe (and the incredible flavor and moisture) are the 1 cup of diced strawberries. I think some might measure 1 cup of whole strawberries, then dice them. I made sure to use one whole cup of diced strawberries. Thank you for this recipe! I will definitely be making these muffins again!

    Great flavor, easy recipe! I subbed blueberries for the strawberries. My muffins came out quite dry. Was it my starter? It was like pancake batter consistency. Must have messed up something. What could I do differently next time? Thanks!

      Hi CK, the strawberries add more moisture than the blueberries because they are chopped up vs the blueberries are whole. I really like the blueberry muffin from King Arthur Flour if you need a good sourdough blueberry muffin recipe 🙂 I hope that helps. Happy baking!

    How could you use frozen strawberries in this recipe?

      Defrost them and blot away any extra liquid then you can use them with the recipe. With frozen strawberries, your muffins may be more pink.

    These turned out AMAZING!! I replaced the sugars with about 2/3 cup sucanant + 1 Tbs maple syrup and used freshly milled whole wheat flour instead of all purpose. And I only baked mine for 20 minutes. But they seriously turned out perfect!!
