These blackberry loaded sourdough discard muffins with a combination of white and whole spelt flour are a great way to put excess starter to work. They are excellent for a mid-morning treat or a snack on the go or even as a dessert served with vanilla ice cream. Use fresh or frozen blackberries, or go foraging to find some in the summer months. The use of rye sourdough discard adds a very pleasant tangy flavour and moisture that helps these wholesome muffins stay moist and fresh for longer. I baked these muffins in a jumbo 6-cup muffin pan. If you want to use a standard-sized 12-cup muffin pan, adjust the baking time accordingly.

 

150 g White spelt flour #630 100 g Wholegrain spelt flour A pinch of salt 1 tsp Baking soda 1 tsp Cinnamon powder 220 g Rye sourdough discard 60 ml Whole milk 1 Large egg 60 g Melted butter 160 g Date syrup or maple syrup 350 g Blackberries Coarse sugar, for sprinkling tops

1. Preheat the oven to 210C / 410F. Grease the wells of a jumbo 6-cup muffin pan, or line with papers and grease the inside of the papers.
2. Combine two spelt flours, a pinch of salt, baking soda, and cinnamon powder in a mixing bowl.
3. In another bowl, beat together the rye sourdough starter, milk, egg, melted butter, and date syrup. Blend the wet ingredients with the dry, taking about 20 seconds. Fold in 250 g of the blackberries just until blended.
4. Fill the cups of the prepared muffin pan 3/4 full and poke a few small blackberries (halved if large) into the top of each muffin, so that they are sticking out slightly. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar.
5. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 190C/375F and bake for 20-25 minutes more until risen and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
