Step 1

Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin (24-cup size works great).

Step 2

Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour wet into dry and stir just until combined—don’t overmix!

Step 3

Prepare the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Fill the muffin tin: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup. Add a small dollop (1/2 tsp) of the cinnamon mixture on top of each and swirl with a toothpick or skewer.

Step 5

Bake: Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a rack.

Step 6

Make the glaze: Beat together cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, then whisk until smooth and drizzle-able. Adjust milk for desired consistency.

Step 7

Drizzle and enjoy: Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites or serve it on the side for dipping. They're best warm but still delicious at room temp!
