Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 12 cup muffin pan
- Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 eggs brought to room temperature
- 1/2 cup milk brought to room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter (fed or unfed) brought to room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray your muffin pan with nonstick oil. Alternatively, you can line the pan with muffin tins.
- In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Next, add the maple syrup, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sourdough starter and mix until everything is combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture until everything is combined. Try not to overmix here, it's okay if there are a few clumps. (I use a little of the electric mixer and then fold in the remainder with a silicone spatula)
- Scoop the batter into each muffin tin filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake the sourdough maple snickerdoodle muffins for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the muffins are cooling for a few minutes in the pan, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the topping.
- Brush each muffin with the melted butter and generously dust or dip the muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Feel free to add some butter or jam and enjoy these warm!
- Sourdough maple snickerdoodle muffins last 1-2 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are brought to room temperature before baking.
