Chocolate Sourdough Muffins

I fed my sourdough starter last night, so I also made  some chocolate muffins to share with Emily.

 

Ingredients:

• 12   ounces sourdough starter
• 1.5   ounces All-Purpose Flour   
•  1/3  cup cocoa powder
•  1/2  cup sugar (I used 1/2 brown sugar, and 1/2 white sugar)
• 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
•  1/2  tsp salt
•  2  eggs      
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips 

Instructions:

1. Feed your sourdough before you go to bed so you have 8 ounces to use in the morning. Cover with kitchen towel.
2. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle of the oven.
3. Grease the wells of a 12-well muffin pan.
4. Mix together all ingredients except the chocolate chips. Stir as needed to spread cocoa powder evenly though batter.
5. Using a 1/4 cup measure, place one level scoop of batter into 9 or so wells of the pan.
6. Sprinkle each muffin with some chocolate chips.
7. Bake for 22 - 25 minutes
8. Remove muffins from pan after a couple of minutes, and let them cool on a wire rack.

Carole's Notes:

We liked these! I liked them more than the Berry Sourdough Muffins I also made this morning, but Doug likes the berry ones better.

This recipe made about 9 regular size, or 40 mini muffins.

The muffins are not as sweet as a cupcake, but quite sweet enough for breakfast or snacking.
