The ingredients in these delicious sourdough banana muffins by Instagrammer Deb/everything.sourdough came out great. To make them a bit healthier I replaced a half cup of all purpose white flour with whole wheat flour. I also significantly reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup and found the muffins were sweet enough for me. I also added semi sweet chocolate chips instead of nuts to my second batch.

This is a good way to use up a little of your sourdough discard.
