These easy sourdough discard pumpkin muffins are moist, delicious and easy to make! Use just one bowl to mix all the ingredients together, making cleanup a breeze.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two muffin pans with cupcake liners. To prevent sticking, spray the cupcake liners with non stick spray (optional).
Mix together the discard, eggs, pumpkin puree, sugar, butter and vanilla thoroughly.
Add in the dry ingredients: flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined (do not over beat).
Fold in chocolate chips (optional).
Scoop the dough into the cupcake liners, filling about 2/3 of the way full.
Bake for 16-20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do not overmix. We use a cookie scoop to scoop out the muffin dough and fill up the muffin liners. This helps control the mess!
