Ever since I started baking sourdough bread back in August, I have been wondering about other ways to use the excess starter. Once you have a batch of starter going, it has to be fed regularly, and you either have to bake with it or throw some away, or you will end up with gallons of it on hand because it grows. I have been regularly baking the Sourdough Bread, but I was still having some each week to discard. I have been collecting recipes for biscuits, pancakes, cakes, and muffins that will make use of my sourdough starter. I came across the muffin recipe that I baked today at the blog On Just a Couple Acres, and when I saw how they looked when Quinn baked them I knew I’d have to give them a try.
This recipe makes a big batch of 24 standard size muffins.
Thanks, Quinn, for a great seasonal recipe that uses pumpkin, applesauce, and walnuts, along with helping me make use of all my sourdough starter. These are yummy muffins.
These muffins sound like the perfect way to use up some starter! They sound and look wonderful!

How neat I have never made sour dough though it is my favorite bread, I just love when excess ingredients almost force you to get creative, I bet these were great.
Thanks so much for sharing on Newlyweds blog pumpkin linky!! I am pinning this recipe.
