A great way to use up extra sourdough starter and they go together so easily. Adjust the orange zest to your own liking. The original recipe comes from Sourdoughhome, however I've made some adjustments to fit our taste. http://sourdoughhome.com/blueberrymuffins.html NOTE: When baking quick breads with sourdough starter be sure to use baking soda NOT baking powder.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE MUFFINS



Cranberry-Orange Muffins image

These cranberry-orange muffins are not overly sweet, and big on flavor. Lots of tart cranberries and sweet orange juice/zest kick the flavor up. Best when made with fresh cranberries, fresh orange juice, and lots of pulp! My family loves them without the glaze, but some of my sweet-toothed friends prefer it with, as the muffins are only slightly sweet on their own.

Tips:

  • For a tangier muffin, use more orange zest and juice. Be sure to finely grate the orange zest to get the most flavor.
  • If you don't have sourdough starter, you can substitute buttermilk or regular milk. However, the sourdough starter gives the muffins a slightly tangier flavor and a more tender crumb.
  • If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Be sure to thaw them before using.
  • For a sweeter muffin, add more sugar. You can also add a glaze to the muffins after they have cooled.
  • To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.

Conclusion:

These Cranberry Orange Sourdough Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a holiday brunch or a quick weekday breakfast. The muffins are packed with flavor from the cranberries, orange zest, and sourdough starter. They are also light and fluffy, thanks to the buttermilk.
