Sourdough Harvest Apple Muffins

I am always looking for new ways to use my sourdough starter. I wanted to do a sweet muffin so I converted a recipe from the Kelloggs www.allbran.ca site, Harvest Apple Muffins. I reduced the flour and milk and added a cup of sourdough starter.

I started by combining the sugar and cinnamon for the topping and coring and chopping an unpeeled apple.

Then I mixed the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl.

In a smaller bowl mix together the bran flakes, milk, sourdough starter, egg, vegetable oil and molasses and beat it. Stir in the apple and raisins.

Add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture all at once and stir just until the flour is moistened.

Put the batter in greased muffin pans. Sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon mix over the batter and bake in a 400 F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and set.

Let them cool for 5 minutes and take them out of the muffin pans.

The Verdict

This worked very well. The muffins have a touch of sweet without being cake like. The sourdough gives a nice counter point to the sweet and apple. The muffin tops crisped perfectly. Sigh, breakfast is going to be good for the next couple of days.
