Sourdough Snickerdoodle Mini Muffins

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF and prepare a 24 cup mini muffin tin with liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Melt butter in the microwave until just melted. Let cool if needed to room temperature. Add the sourdough discard and whisk to combine. Pour in the sugar and eggs. Whisk again until completely combined. Add the milk and vanilla and whisk until incorporated and smooth.
3. To a separate bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just mixed – it’s okay if your batter has a few small streaks of flour.
5. Scoop muffin batter into the wells of the muffin tin, filling the tins about 3/4 of the way full.
6. Bake for 20-22 minutes until muffins are baked all the way through. The tops of the muffins should not jiggle and if you insert a toothpick to the middle of the muffin it will come out clean.
7. While the muffins cool prepare the topping: Melt butter in a bowl. Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Dip the top of each muffin into the butter and then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Continue this process until every muffin in coated in cinnamon/sugar. Enjoy warm!
