I’ve been sharing a lot of our sourdough adventures over on Instagram, and the feedback has been awesome. As I mentioned, I’ll be sharing my loaf how-to in the coming weeks (and I’ll be sure to link it all here too), but for now, here’s another family favorite that I threw together one morning when Evie asked for pancakes right as I was discarding and feeding Willow (she’s our starter).
No starter, but wanting to begin your own sourdough adventures? Check out my friends at iii Rivers Farm. You can buy an organic sourdough starter and let the fun begin. I will say there’s a special joy and mindfulness in baking something fermented, nourishing, and delicious for my family.
Note: Evie and I both have gluten sensitivity, but the fermentation process in sourdough drastically reduces the gluten, and we have no issues enjoying it. I made this recipe even more reduced gluten by making them with gluten free and almond flour.
Evie's Sourdough (mostly gluten free) Pancakes
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 1/4 cup of sourdough starter
- 2 tablespoons of butter, melted (but not hot)
- 1 egg
- 2-4 tablespoons of milk of your choice
- 1/4 cup of Bob’s Redmill 1-1 gluten free flour or Otto’s cassava flour
- 1/4 cup of almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
WHAT YOU DO:
- heat pan to medium low heat, and begin melting butter.
- combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl and then add egg and mix till combined.
- next, add melted butter and 2 tablespoons milk, stirring again until combined.
- add starter and mix to combine, followed by remaining milk if needed until you have a perfect pancake batter.
- heat pan to medium low, add a little butter, and pour batter into desired pancake size
- once you see little bubbles flip
- when they’re done, ENJOY! (Evie loves them with butter and a little Beekeeper’s Naturals B-Powered honey)
Let me know what you think! What are your favorite breakfast meals? Happy breakfasting, friends.
Hi Laura, I remember you sharing a while back on the podcast that you were playing around with modifying some recipes to be without eggs. We have these pancakes daily and we just found out my daughter is highly reactive to egg whites so I was wondering if you ever found a swap or a good recipe adaption. Thank you!
Hey Steph! We’ve made these without eggs (just leaving them out), and they’re still good, but not the same. We’ve decided to just make them a once a week special breakfast for Sundays rather than egg free. Evie doesn’t do well with eggs either, but once a week seems to be ok for her! My oatmeal bake and carrot cake are both egg free on this site! I’ll keep trying too.
The oatmeal bake is on my list of things to try! Thank you, Laura!
