Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line or grease a muffin pan.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the sourdough discard and eggs, then mix until fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract and flour, combining well.
Pour in the milk, then add the salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix just until combined — don’t overmix!
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
Fill 8 muffin cups to the top — this gives that high, domed muffin top.
Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips and turbinado sugar (optional).
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
