Easy Sourdough Banana Muffins
I make a lot of muffins at our house, and with excess sourdough discard always at my fingertips it only makes sense to make some sourdough banana muffins. Keep scrolling to get the recipe!
I used to be intimidated making just about any kind of baked item from scratch, apart from bread. That was always something I loved doing. But, once I realized the basics, and how easy it is to make them all bets were off.
Making homemade muffins from scratch are one of the easiest things to make, and its one of the most tasty too! Adding sourdough discard to your batter makes them have more depth of flavor as well a s some of the benefits of sourdough.
If you’re like me you often buy bananas and always end up with a couple extra over ripe ones before you can eat them all.

Sourdough Banana Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3-4 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Mixins
- 1-2 cup chocolate chips
- 4 oz cream cheese My kids like me to add a spoonful of cream cheese to each muffin before baking.
Optional Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare your muffin tin by spraying with nonstick spray or by placing muffin liners in each spot.
- First, wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add your eggs, sugar, brown sugar, salt and butter and whisk until all is combined and creamed together. (You can also use a stand mixer, but I dont find it necessary.
- Mash your bananas. Add your mashed bananas to the bowl. Next add the sourdough discard and milk and continue to mix all until it is completely combined.
- Next Your dry ingredients. Add your flour, baking powder and baking soda. Fold in until just combined. Do not overmix. Add your chocolate chips if you like those.
- If you want to add a streusel topping, mix the melted butter, sugars and flour together until it combined and becomes crumbly.
- Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter into each muffin liner. Top with streusel or cream cheese for an added treat. I like to use my cookie scoop, or you could also use an ice cream scoop.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before eating. I like to cool them on a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container on your counter or freeze for up to 3 months. You can also keep them in the fridge if you choose.
