Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed starter)
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted, for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Stack your golden-brown vegan sourdough discard pancakes high and top with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of vegan yogurt.
Notes
- Adjust consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. If too thin, add a bit more flour.
- Rest the batter: Letting the batter sit for 10-15 minutes before cooking enhances the sourdough flavor.
- Keep them warm: Place cooked pancakes in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you finish the batch.
