What Are Sourdough Muffins?
Sourdough muffins are a delicious and easy recipe that home cooks and professional chefs alike will love. The sourdough bread is made from a starter dough which includes flour, water, and yeast. This bread has a tangy flavor that many people enjoy. It can also be eaten in toast or sandwiches when there isn’t enough time to bake it into muffins!
Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Sourdough Blueberry Muffins
- All-Purpose Flour
- Salt
- Baking Powder
- Sourdough Starter
- Eggs
- Butter
- Granulated Sugar
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Milk
- Blueberries
- Light Brown Sugar
- Heavy Whipping Cream
How To Make Air Fryer Sourdough Blueberry Muffins
Step One: Line your muffin pan with cupcake liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, beat or whisk together the sourdough starter, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.
Step Two: Take 1 tablespoon out of the ½ cup of flour and mix it with the blueberries. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl and set aside. Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently, just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step Three: Gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter—divide the batter between the muffin cups in the prepared pan.
Step Four: Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and brown sugar. Use a pastry blender or a fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture to form small crumbs. Add heavy cream and stir to combine into larger clumps.
Step Five: Sprinkle the streusel topping over the tops of the muffins. If you like, add a few blueberries to the top of the streusel. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 325 degrees F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out; the tops are golden brown.
Step Six: Cool muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes and then move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Air Fryer Sourdough Blueberry Muffins Recipe Notes
- Over-stirring the batter will make the muffins too tough.
- The sourdough starter serves as a flavoring in these muffins. It doesn’t create leavening qualities.
- Substitute unsweetened frozen blueberries instead of fresh blueberries in equal amounts. Put frozen blueberries directly from the freezer into your batter (toss with a tablespoon of flour first).
- You can easily substitute some additional flour and milk for the sourdough starter if you want to make regular muffins. Use 2 cups of flour and ½ cup milk rather than the measurements in the recipe – and omit the sourdough starter.
- Mixing the blueberries with a bit of flour helps them stay suspended throughout the muffin batter rather than sinking to the bottom.
- If the streusel on top of the muffins is getting too dark and the muffin batter isn’t cooked through yet, place a piece of aluminum foil over the tops of the muffins while they finish cooking.
How To Store And Freeze
These muffins will keep at room temperature for about 2 to 3 days.
For any longer, freeze these muffins. Let them cool to room temperature and then place into a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. They will last for 2 to 3 months.
Thaw at room temperate or overnight in the refrigerator. Heat them in the microwave or the air fryer until warmed through.
