Ingredients

Crumble Topping

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour 60 g
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed (50 g)
  • ¼ cup salted butter very cold and grated (57 g)

Sourdough Blueberry Muffins

  • cups all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons for coating the blueberries (240 g + 16 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder 8 g
  • ¼ teaspoon salt 1.5 g
  • ½ cup salted butter melted (113 g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200 g
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 g
  • ¾ cup full-fat Greek yogurt room temperature (170 g)
  • ½ cup sourdough discard room temperature (120 g)
  • 1 heaping cup fresh blueberries plus more for topping (170 g, plus extra)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. For tall, bakery-style muffins, fill every other muffin cup, leaving an empty cup between each muffin.

Step 2: Make the Crumble

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar.
  • Add the grated, very cold butter and use a fork or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
  • Place the crumble topping in the refrigerator while you prepare the muffin batter.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Set aside.

Step 4: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
  • Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
  • Whisk in the vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and sourdough discard until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Make the Batter

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  • Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Fold in the Blueberries

  • Place the blueberries in a small bowl and toss them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.
  • Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 7: Fill the Muffin Pan

  • Divide the batter evenly between every other muffin cup, filling each liner nearly to the top.
  • Scatter a few additional blueberries over each muffin, then generously sprinkle the crumble topping over the batter, gently pressing it down so it adheres.

Step 8: Bake

  • Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 10 minutes.
  • Without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9: Cool

  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
