Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active or discard)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ tsp salt
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Soak the Oats
In a bowl, combine rolled oats and milk. Let them soak for 10–15 minutes so the oats soften.
Step 2: Blend the Oats
For smoother pancakes, blend the soaked oats slightly in a blender or food processor.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, add sourdough starter, egg, honey (or maple syrup), melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Step 4: Add the Oats
Stir the soaked or blended oats into the mixture.
Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients
Add baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix gently until just combined.
Step 6: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Step 7: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form.
Step 8: Flip and Finish
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 9: Serve
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, or nuts.
