These sourdough quick bread recipes are perfect for using up discard. Whether you are hiding veggies or utilizing seasonal produce, these quick breads are as delicious as they are simple. 

Quick breads and muffins.

One of my favorite sourdough snacks to have on hand for the kids is a quick bread. Whether in muffin or loaf form, quick breads are aย nourishing treat.ย 

While I have many sourdough bread recipes, you just can’t beat a classic quick bread with the added flavor of sourdough

These recipes are a great way to hide veggies for those picky eaters -โ€“ think zucchini, carrots, and more. You’ll also find seasonal favorites like blueberry bread for the summer and a pumpkin loaf for fall. 

Tips for Quick Breads

  • You can use discard or active sourdough starter for any of these recipes. Learn how to make a sourdough starter here
  • Be careful not to over mix quick bread batter. When over mixed, quick breads will turn out dense and rubbery instead of that perfect light and fluffy texture. 
  • These recipes freeze well. I prefer to freeze muffins over a loaf so we have an easy grab-and-go snack on hand whenever needed.
  • Any of these recipes can be made in muffin form. Just adjust the bake time as needed.ย 
  • Add a little homemade nut butter on top of these muffins or slices for added nutrition.
