Recipe: Sourdough Adventure: Honey Pecan Cardamom Muffins

Take a break for cinnamon and enjoy the flavor of cardamom for a change. 

1 egg

1 1/2 cup mature sourdough starter

1/4 cup olive oil

1/3 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon cardamom

1/2 cup pecans

 

Preheat oven to 350 and spray pans with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Combine wet ingredients in a large bowl.

Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix gently until all is moistened.

Spoon into muffin tins.

Cook until toothpick comes out clean.

Note 1: The density of sourdough starter varies. You may need to add some water if the batter is too thick.

Note 2: Try some different seasonings and nuts. I used maple syrup (instead of honey), peanuts (instead of pecans), cinnamon rather than cardamom and very fine bread crumbs (instead of the flour)....Yummy!
