1/2 cup sourdough starter active
1.5 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup butter melted
3/4 cup honey
2 eggs
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips You could also use regular chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

In a large bowl or a bowl of a stand mixer, mix together melted butter, honey, flour, and sourdough starter.
Cover and allow to ferment for 12 to 24 hours. (optional)
The next day preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin tins with muffin liners or grease well.
Add vanilla extract, baking soda, eggs, and salt to the fermented batter.
Start mixing all the ingredients together with the paddle attachment or a whisk.
Once the batter starts coming together, add chocolate chips, and mix. Breaking up any more large lumps.
Spoon into muffin tins equally.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until tops start turning golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Flip onto baking rack and allow to cool. A plate works well, too.

You can make this recipe without the long fermentation. Just mix all the ingredients together and bake. Still yummy.

The fermentation is just to help break down the phytic acid and some of the gluten making it easier to digest.

Substitute sugar for the honey. Add an extra 1/2 cup of sourdough starter for added moisture.
