Make Pancakes With Sourdough Starter Discard

This vegan sourdough pancakes recipe is the perfect way to use your sourdough discard from a starter.  I hate throwing out food (or rather, composting it!)- so I’m always looking for ways to reuse kitchen scraps to cut back on waste. 

Instead of tossing your discard when you feed your sourdough starter, try this awesome recipe instead. I have a whole page on my site for recipes that use sourdough discard. That way you can add a hint of sourdough flavor to your baked goods, and cut back on food waste.

How Do I Make Sourdough Pancakes Vegan?

  1. Heat a large non stick pan or pancake griddle over low heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan or griddle for each pancake.  Cook for 3 or 4 minutes on one side until bubbles form around the edges of the pancake, then flip.  Cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until cooked through.  Repeat until all pancake batter is gone.
  4. If pancakes are too thick, add more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time (this will depend on how moist your Sourdough starter is). Top with maple syrup and fresh fruit of your choice.  Mangia!

    Did not turn out as well for me. I used Bob’s 1:1 GF flour so maybe that was the problem? I even added an extra 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum and still like little hockey pucks.

      Hi Linda, I’m sorry to hear that. Did you use a gluten free sourdough starter as well? That and/or the gluten free baking mix may have been the problem. I only tested this using a regular sourdough starter (not gluten-free) and also regular flour.

      Hello Nicole, yes the flaxseed is used as an egg substitute, so your pancakes may not stick together as well. It won’t change the flavor, but it’ll leave you with a thinner batter.

    These are a dense pancake, tasty! I served them with fried apples, we seem to have an abundance. Great way to use sourdough discard.
