- 2 Eggs, room temperature
- 80 g Maple Syrup, ¼ cup
- 120 g Sourdough Discard, or active starter, ½ cup

- Cover and chill the muffin batter (optional) in the refrigerator for at least an hour and up to overnight. This will help the flavors meld and rise tall in the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF (191ºC). Prepare a muffin pan with liners and spray with oil or grease.Equally divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups (I like using an ice cream or cookie scoop) and sprinkle more chocolate chips on top.Bake for about 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean and tops just turn golden brown.Cool completely on a wire rack.
