  • Then in a separate medium bowl combine the oil, sourdough starter, buttermilk, pumpkin, brown sugar and vanilla. Mix this well making sure the sourdough discard is well incorporated with the rest of the wet ingredients.
  • Next, add the wet ingredients to the large bowl with the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed. Do not overmix. It is okay if there are a few clumps in the mixture.
