Lori,
You can use less than bubbly starter if you want, although I guess I don’t know about “not quite mature.” Bet it wouldn’t hurt! I never tossed any when I was first making, just kept feeding. Feed at least 2x/day and keep it warm and toasty (on the stovetop for me) to move things along faster! Katie

When a recipe like this is labeled “for discarded starter,” does the starter still have to be mature and this recipe is just calling for the part you’re taking off as you feed it so it doesn’t grow too big, or is this like just-made-it-yesterday starter that hasn’t bubbled yet so I don’t have to waste that flour & water mixture? Thanks!! (DH is getting impatient about waiting for this starter to be worth something so I’m trying to figure it all out )

I made this last night with no fruit, but about 1 1/2 tsp of lemon extract and just a little extra syrup. My picky husband LOVED them! The tartness of the lemon hides the sourdough “tang.”

Thank you so much for posting these muffins… I’ve been looking for more ways to use up starter. It pains me to have to dump it down the drain! And so delicious! My picky-eating Husband and Son both devoured them too!! Can’t wait to try more add-ins and experiment, I used 1/4 c. or so of raisins and the same amount of granola for my first round.

Olivia,
A newer starter is often more sour. Try a very hearty feeding 6 hours or so before mixing up this recipe. And yes, sometimes the muffins are a bit damp and dense – try a thicker starter or a bit more flour in the recipe. Sourdough is an art form, to be sure! For muffins, so far I prefer just soaking or using sprouted flour. Katie

I tried these. Don’t know where I went wrong but they had a sour taste to them and were too damp and dense. I’m new to sour dough though?!

Just made these today they were delish! I did a double batch and used pumpkin, diced apple, raisins, and a lot of spices. Very good!!
