Description

These fluffy Sourdough Protein Pancakes with Whole Wheat are a wholesome and nutritious twist on traditional pancakes. Packed with protein from the addition of protein powder, which enables us to skip the sugar, these pancakes are not only delicious but also a great way to use up your sourdough discard.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 scoops protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 3/4 cup soy milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Mix the wet

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, egg, soy milk, protein powder, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Mix the Dry

  1. Note: You can prepare the batter the evening before, but if you do, leave out the baking powder until the next morning, as it would lose some of its effectiveness overnight.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and fine sea salt.

Mix the wet into the dry

  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps in the batter are fine.

Fry

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If needed, lightly grease the surface with additional coconut oil.
  2. Once the skillet is hot, pour approximately 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
  3. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Serve the Sourdough Protein Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, maple syrup, honey, or yogurt.

These can easily be frozen and just toasted for a few minutes, whenever you crave pancakes for breakfast. I usually make a big batch, to have a delicious and easy breakfast for the week.
