Sourdough sweet potato muffins are easy to make, full of flavor and naturally sweetened! Add in chocolate chips, and they’re even better! They’re also a great way to use sourdough discard and enjoy the many benefits that sourdough provides!

If you’ve followed along for a while, you may have noticed I have a few recipes that utilize sweet potatoes, and that’s because I love to use them in baking! They provide great flavor and texture. We really enjoy making sweet potato pancakes and sweet potato bread on the regular. If you love baking with pumpkin puree, I encourage you to try out baking with sweet potatoes because they are equally delicious and provide a very similar flavor! And the great thing is that you can usually find sweet potatoes year round.

    Making these for the 2nd time but this time with leftover pumpkin. So far these are the best sourdough muffins I’ve made. All the flavors fit together perfectly, thank you!

      I’m so glad you like them! Pumpkin is so good in place of sweet potato. If you’re looking for another sourdough muffin to try, I have a pumpkin spice recipe too 🙂 https://thesimplehomeplace.com/sourdough-discard-pumpkin-spice-muffins/
