If you are looking for the best sourdough pancake recipe ideas for inspiration, look no further. This roundup has over 10 different variations of sourdough pancakes for you to try. Ranging from sourdough blueberry pancakes to spinach pancakes, you are sure to find one you love!
It is no surprise our meal prep loving family loves sourdough pancakes. Now that we have a Blackstone, our weekends typically include at least one day filled with a large breakfast of turkey sausage, eggs and a TON of pancakes. We munch on the leftover pancakes throughout the week.
Not only are sourdough pancakes gut healthy and an easy overnight sourdough recipe, they are great for getting rid of discard. Additionally, sourdough gives a little tang to the batter and a significant amount of rise to the pancakes!
While some of our family is particular to their favorites – sourdough blueberry pancakes and chocolate chip sourdough pancakes, we like to put a little twist on the recipes. And our baby loves BLW spinach pancakes, too.
