Hey Reader,

Guess what? It’s officially blueberry season! 🫐

There’s nothing better than sweet, juicy blueberries freshly picked from a farm. I go blueberry picking every summer and I always end up bringing home more than I know what to do with.

After freezing half of what I pick, I usually make sourdough blueberry muffins. And let me tell you—the oat streusel topping? Absolutely delicious. You might want to make a double batch!

If sourdough bread is more your thing, I also have a blueberry lemon sourdough recipe on the blog. It’s a soft, naturally leavened loaf with pops of blueberry and a hint of lemon zest—perfect for toasting and slathering with butter or cream cheese.

I hope you enjoy these two delicious ways to use up those fresh summer berries, and your sourdough starter too. 😊

P.S. If you’ve been loving my sourdough recipes, I’d be so grateful if you pinned a few to your recipe board on ​Pinterest​. It helps more people find them - and start their own sourdough adventures too! 💙

To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

  • ​Food Scale - Measuring by weight is the easiest way to get consistent results every time.
  • ​Banneton - Helps support your sourdough during its final rise and gives it that classic shape.
  • ​Straight-Sided Proofing Container - Makes it easy to monitor your dough's rise and bulk fermentation.
  • ​Aluminum Muffin Pan - Great for evenly baked muffins with golden brown tops.

Hey Reader, Nothing says lazy Sunday morning like a big stack of pancakes, topped with butter and dripping with maple syrup. 🥞🍁 I’ve always been a pancake (and waffle!) lover. When I was a kid, they were just about the only breakfast I’d eat—I wasn’t a fan of eggs back then. These days, I save them for slow weekend mornings, but they’re still one of my absolute favorites. Testing various sourdough...
