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.
What’s In These Vegan Sourdough Pancakes Recipe?
See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- All Purpose Flour: I normally use all purpose flour for all my baking recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish.
- Almond Milk: you can use any variety that you would drink. I prefer almond milk.
- Sourdough Discard:you canbuy sourdough starter here, or I havea great guide on how to make your own in one week!
- Brown Sugar
- Flaxseed Meal: I always add a scoop in a lot of my baked for a little extra flavor! This flaxseed meal helps to keep the pancakes together without eggs.
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give these cookies an #extra boost.
- Baking Powder
- Maple syrup: fornatural sweetness without the refined sugar, I’d definitely recommend using a natural maple syrup over sugar in this recipe. And don’t even think about using fake pancake syrup… only the real deal maple syrup in this recipe! (Being married to a Canadian, I have to add that disclaimer) 🙂
One of the BEST Pantry Staple Pancakes Recipes

How Do I Make Sourdough Pancakes Vegan?
- Heat a large non stick pan or pancake griddle over low heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together.
- 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.
- 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!
