Sourdough discard and yogurt make these Sourdough Blueberry Muffins extremely moist! The bakery-style muffins are bursting full of juicy blueberries and can be made with an overnight option.
113gUnsalted Butter, ½ cup or 1 stick, melted and cooled
340gFresh Blueberries, 2 cups or a 1 12 oz package
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugars. Add the lemon zest and rub it into the flour mixture and break apart any clumps of brown sugar.
210 g All-purpose flour, ½ tsp Kosher Salt, 2 tsp Baking Powder, 1 TBS Lemon Zest, 165 g Granulated Sugar, 50 g Light Brown Sugar
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, vanilla extract, and sourdough discard until thick and pale yellow. Pour the melted and cooled butter in last and whisk until combined.
2 Eggs, 120 g Greek Yogurt, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, 120 g Sourdough Discard, 113 g Unsalted Butter
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and use a spatula to mix together until most of the flour is hydrated and a few lumps remain.Gently fold about ⅔ of the blueberries into the batter, reserving enough berries to top the muffins later with 4-5 blueberries each.
340 g Fresh Blueberries
For tall muffins with domed muffin tops, cover and chill the muffin batter for at least an hour in the refrigerator and up to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC).Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners or tins and butter or spray them with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Fill the muffin liners almost to the brim with muffin batter. For even distribution, you can use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop.Dot the tops of the muffins with 4-5 reserved blueberries and a generous sprinkle of granulated sugar.Bake for about 23-25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool for five minutes in the muffin pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For an overnight option, make and chill the batter overnight in the refrigerator and bakee the next morning.
You can substitute fresh with frozen blueberries, but may get more purple streaking and bursting in the batter. Don't thaw beforehand. They'll still taste great!
