These oatmeal raisin sourdough muffins have great texture and flavor. They are a great grab and go breakfast that uses sourdough discard as well. I think you’ll love the wholesome ingredient list too!
We have a new member of the household that I haven’t told you much about yet. Her name is Bertha. She came into being a few weeks back and thus far has been a good house guest.
She requires a little attention now and then and needs fed at least once a week. The best part is she makes delicious baked goods.
Beautiful boules of bread, sandwich loaves, and she has even made a delicious batch of pasta. And now she is making muffins! She is so versatile and handy to have around!
Of course, she is my sourdough starter.
I heard you are more likely to feed and less likely to kill something with a name. So I lovingly incubated and fed my new baby for 5 days before she became Bertha.

So far Bertha has been getting quite a workout and we have been enjoying having her around. She hasn’t had much rest, but she also hasn’t complained much.
She is just happy to be fed and to make delicious creations. She has made some great pizza dough, waffles and sandwich bread.
Today I stirred her into some fun and pretty healthy muffins. She had her first taste of brown sugar and she loved it! She bubbled with delight.
I also stirred in some yogurt, because if we are going fermented food we might as well go whole hog! The muffins turned out beautifully and would be a delicious and healthy addition to your morning routine, whether that means grabbing one as you run out the door or sitting down to a leisurely brunch.
Either way, enjoy!

Hi Carlee, another good reason to get a sour dough starter bubbling! I'm popping over to check out how Sourdough Sam came about!

It really is so easy! Just a few days and a bit of flour and water and you'll be in business!
Great post! Love the mystery of finding out about your house guest who only ate once per week! The muffins look yummy so I saved the recipe to my pinterest board.
Thank you! She's like a quiet pet that helps in the kitchen!
Looks wonderful, Carlee! I love the old fat guy, and so funny about the name!!
Isn't he the best? Except he makes me want to get a smoker and I really don't need to have one more thing to tinker with (especially since my dad and brother have 4 smokers between them already!)
Love brunch! Anytime of the day! This post reads like a brunch buffet, one of my most favorite things, ever! I love the story of Bertha! LOL And the name is perfect. She seems to make the most perfect muffins too, these look so delish. And Bertha is the gift that keeps on giving, can't wait to see what you use her for next!
Me too and a brunch buffet is one of my most favorite things too. I haven't been to one in far too long. I'm going to have to change that soon! Bertha has been busy. I'll definitely have to share more recipes!
Congratulations on the birth of Bertha! I love this recipe. If I only had a starter … You have me motivated. Saying hi from SITS Link up!
Thank you! It is a proud day. You can make your own starter, it is only a 5 day gestation! 😉 I have been having so much fun playing with Bertha. You'll have to let me know if you give it a go!
Breakfast/Brunch is my favorite meal and I don't know how anyone could find a better round up of recipes.
Thank you! I love breakfast and brunch food too! I could live off it, I am pretty sure!
That's great Carlee! Loved hearing about Bertha. So interesting. I think I need to do this! And I'm so excited about Mother's Day Brunch!
I have had so much fun playing with her so far. I've only had her a few weeks and so far we have made a couple sourdough boules, 3 loaves of sandwich bread, focaccia, a couple batches of muffins and pizza dough. She has been getting a workout!
Wow Carlee these muffins look so amazing and I bet are just yummy.
Thanks for sharing at Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
Enjoy the week and Happy Mother's Day. 🙂

They really are good, Julie. It is interesting how the oatmeal basically melts into the muffin. I hope you have a lovely weekend too!
I wish my houseguest shade such tasty delights. And to think she bubbles with excitement over a serving of brown sugar. Bertha is my kind of girl. Maybe you will share a bit of her with your mom someday. ��
Only if she's lucky!
Great roundup Carlee! I can't wait to try Crunchy Pear and Brie Crepes, and the Eggs Purgatory. They look right up my alley 🙂 Sourdough starter is another thing on my bucket list of things to try, along with Apple Butter. The muffins look yummy!
Don't they all look great! I just started my sourdough on a whim. After making my first couple of boules, I wasn't sure if I had made a mistake. But I have been having so much fun playing with it. If you want to go full sourdough, it is time consuming (but delicious) but there are a million fun hybrid recipes out there too. This was a twist on an easy one I found and it could be changed up a million ways. I can't wait to try more!
