Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g (¾ cup) active sourdough starter
  • 250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 100g (½ cup) granulated sugar
  • 8g (2 tsp) baking powder
  • 3g (½ tsp) baking soda
  • 3g (½ tsp) salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 120ml (½ cup) whole milk, room temperature
  • 85g (6 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
  • 150g (1 cup) wild huckleberries, fresh or frozen
  • 60g (¼ cup, packed) light brown sugar
  • 30g (3 tbsp) all-purpose flour
  • 30g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Stir in sourdough starter, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Carefully fold in wild huckleberries, thawing and draining frozen berries beforehand if used.
  6. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in cold cubed butter with a pastry cutter or forks until coarse crumbs form.
  7. Spoon batter into muffin cups about ¾ full. Sprinkle brown sugar crumble evenly on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and crumble is golden.
  9. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to prevent soggy bottoms.

Notes

If crumble browns too fast, tent muffins with foil halfway through baking. Use a cooling rack to keep bottoms crisp. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based milk and vegan butter. Frozen berries should be thawed and drained to avoid soggy muffins. Avoid overmixing batter to prevent toughness.
