Homemade Sourdough English Muffins Recipe

 Do you enjoy English Muffins for breakfast?  Here's a recipe for homemade Disgard Sourdough English Muffins that are easy to make, freeze well, and are gut healthy.

I haven't bought any store breads since October of last year since I've learned (or should say, re-learned) and perfected (almost) how to make Sourdough.  

Sourdough English Muffin Recipes

This easy homemade Sourdough English Muffin recipe is from Bim, in a Sourdough Geeks Facebook group I enjoy. This is the recipe I prefer to use, its easy, frugal and we enjoy sourdough bread health benefits for gut health.

My little granddaughter enjoys them when she's over, and asked how they're made.  Even though she's 4 years old, I think she'll be a great helper in the kitchen when I make another batch.

After forming into balls, proof a bit, and then bake either in oven or Air Fryer to make certain inside is cooked through.  I decided this method worked best for me, and I got a much higher rise muffin.

Another recipe I had tried is from in a Facebook Group Sourdough Starters for Beginner Bakers of Bread and Sourdough from the Pantry Mama.

This method calls for rolling out and then cutting the Sourdough English Muffins into your desired size.  Both methods included griddle or pan frying.  The Pantry Mama recipe does not include baking.

I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and try different recipes, both with active starter and unfed sourdough starter (also known as 'Discard').

These Sourdough English Muffins are freezer-friendly, I like to make up a batch and use my FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer to always keep them on hand.

Banana Muffins | Cake Mix Banana Muffins | Easy Quick Recipe

Normally I make my own banana bread recipe, but this one turned out just as yummy, and with Banana Bread Muffins, each grandkiddo gets their very own bite of deliciousness.  

Three grandkids were living here while waiting for a closing on their new house and we were snowed in with Blizzard Bobby taking place off the coast of New England. 

A great way to entertain the kids (and feed them too) is to have them help make something yummy in the kitchen.  I like to incorporate math and reading skills when we cook too. 

However, I'd been baking quite a bit, and wanted to make it simple, so my favorite go-to is to start with a doctored up cake mix recipe.

The kids took turns mashing the bananas, stirring, and adding in chocolate chips!
