The recipe for these muffins started with a FERMENT FAIL.
I left milk kefir sitting in my fridge for 4 months. The milk kefir was very sour, separated and fizzy. I strained the milk kefir grains out of the milk to use in a muffin recipe. As luck should have it, THEY ARE AMAZING and have become a favourite in my home. For me, this was a great example of the immense potential of foods that might otherwise be thought of as ‘waste’ or ‘failures’. Don’t throw it out, find a way to eat your good food! If you ever find yourself stuck and looking for inspiration with a fermentation project gone wrong or have come up with a way to transform your failures, let us know.
