These pancakes are the perfect, easy, quick breakfast that you can feel good about. Made entirely with sourdough starter, the wheat flour has gone through a long pre-ferment, making it easier to digest and healthier overall. Put this on the weekly breakfast rotation and you’ll never wonder how to use your sourdough discard again.
Oatmeal Sourdough Pancakes
Quick, easy, and kid-friendly, these sourdough pancakes are the perfect use for your sourdough discard. Make them weekly and you’ll never worry about refreshing your starter again.
½ banana, mashed or 1/4 cup applesauce
1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 egg
½ cup milk (alternatives like coconut or almond work too)
1 cup discard sourdough starter (1:1 or 100% hydration)*
1 cup regular rolled oats
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
dash cinnamon, optional
dash nutmeg, optional
2 Tbsp butter, melted (or olive or coconut oil)
Preheat a stove-top griddle at medium/low heat
Place banana in mixing bowl and mash with a fork.
Add vanilla and egg and stir to combine.
Add milk and sourdough starter and mix well. (Add more milk if your starter is not 100% hydration-see note*)
Add oats, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and stir to combine.
Drizzle butter or oil over, whisking constantly so it doesn’t clump up.
Grease the griddle with either spray oil, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle and fry pancakes until golden brown and centers are cooked through. These tend to take a little longer than normal hotcakes. Lower the griddle temperature, if needed, to prevent them from burning during the longer cooking time.
Serve hot with plenty of real maple syrup, sliced fruit, and whipped cream. Cool any extras on a wire rack and freeze for future breakfast happiness.
Notes
*For sourdough starters that have been fed a 2:1 ratio of flour to water (like my whole-grain starter), you will need to add more liquid to get the texture correct. You can add more water with the starter, or additional milk. You will need 1/3-1/2 cup of additional liquid.
