Sourdough Discard Blueberry Muffins

Today I converted an existing recipe into one where I'm using my sourdough discard. I typically have 1/2 cup discard after removing 2 tablespoons for the mother starter. I subtracted 3 tablespoons flour and 3 tablespoons liquid (milk) from those ingredients in the recipe. The end result was good. Since the baking powder and soda in the existing recipe compared  to amounts in other recipes utilizing sourdough discard, I did not change those.
