Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sourdough starter (can be active or discard)
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 cup butter softened
• 1/2 cup Hayloft Honey
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 large apples peeled and diced

Topping

• 1 cup oats
• 3 tbsp Hayloft Honey

These sourdough apple cinnamon muffins are the perfect cross between healthy and delicious! They are made with honey instead of sugar, and the sourdough component brings a whole other level of health benefits. They have it all-moist, simple to make, and clean ingredients!

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350℉

• Combine sourdough starter and warm water while you soften butter.

• Mix starter/water mixture, butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.

• In a separate container mix baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and all-purpose flour.

• Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients until everything has been mixed together. (If using a stand mixer you can just dump all the flour mixture in at once.) Add in diced apples last.

• Scoop muffin batter into a muffin pan (I like to use liners for easy clean up but if your pan is properly greased it is not necessary). Fill nearly to the top.

• If you desire to top the muffins with sprinkle topping mixture of your choice on the the muffin batter.

• Sugar Free Topping: mix oats and honey together with a fork, then top before baking.

• Bake on 350℉ for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
