Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each compartment for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
In a separate bowl, combine the dairy-free milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Add the unfed sourdough starter to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. Fill each one about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of dairy-free sugar on top of each muffin for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
