We love easy sourdough breakfast recipes. These come together within minutes and can be prepared in advance, if you prefer. Whether you like something sweet or savory this list will have you covered!
We are going to keep this short and simple. If you like breakfast and you have some sourdough starter on hand, this list has you covered. Be inspired by breakfast recipes which are either sweet or savory to fit your preference.
If you like something quick and on the fly, try our sourdough dutch baby recipes. Simply add the ingredients to a blender, then into a cast iron skillet. Walk away while it bakes in the oven. Could there be anything better than that?
If you are preparing for Shabbat and need something to make the night before, try our sourdough French toast casserole or our long fermented blueberry muffins. Both are prepared the night before and baked the morning of for a delicious option in the morning.
Or, If you are looking for something to share with others at brunch, try out our sourdough lemon poppyseed loaf or sourdough cinnamon pull apart bread.
If you are looking for something sweet, try our double chocolate sourdough muffins or a vanilla cake donut.
If you are looking for something savory, the sourdough breakfast sandwich and savory dutch baby recipes will do the trick.
I hope you find what you are looking for! We sure love sharing sourdough recipes and education with you.
1. Sourdough English Muffins
Homemade sourdough English muffins live up to the hype. This recipe has two different versions to make them – on the stovetop or in the oven. They are soft and fluffy with all the nooks and crannies you desire. Eat them with butter, peanut butter or our favorite – butter and jam!
2. Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich
English muffin breakfast sandwiches are easily one of our go-to breakfast recipes. Not only are they easy to make, but they are quick to prep for a week long of breakfasts ready to go. This is a guaranteed meal our entire family will eat.
3. Savory Sourdough Dutch Baby
If you like all the flavors in a breakfast sandwich (egg, sausage, cheese), try this savory sourdough dutch baby. Not only is it high in protein, but it tastes like a breakfast sandwich – without all the extra work. Add some salsa or sour cream on top to take it to another level.
4. Sourdough Dutch Baby (aka a German Pancake)
The classic sourdough dutch baby (aka a German pancake) will always make it to the top of our list. A dutch baby is equal parts fluffy and custard-y. Keep it simple and top it with powdered sugar or add some maple syrup for a little extra sweetness.
5. Sourdough Blueberry Muffins
The classic blueberry muffin should be a requirement on every ‘mom’s’ breakfast toolkit. There is something so delicious about a blueberry muffin in the morning – especially with a pat of butter.
6. Double Chocolate Sourdough Muffins
Give me chocolate and I am happy. Add it to a recipe twice and I am a very happy camper. These double chocolate sourdough muffins are ‘bakery style’ – meaning they are light, fluffy, tall and topped with turbinado sugar for ‘crunch’.
7. High Protein Sourdough Waffles (16g protein)
While I am not one to ‘sneak’ things into my kids food, I always try to ramp up the protein when possible. These high protein sourdough waffles are an easy recipe that kids will love. As a bonus they will stay full for longer, too!
8. Double Chocolate Sourdough Zucchini Muffins
If you have an abundance of zucchini in your kitchen, try this recipe. These muffins become even more moist with the addition of zucchini – plus the addition of vegetables never hurts anyone! You would never know there was vegetables in it unless you were told.
9. Mixed Berry Sourdough Dutch Baby
This mixed berry sourdough dutch baby is perfect if you have a bag of mixed fruit you just do not know what to do with. Add them to a cast iron skillet, zest a lemon and pour the sourdough dutch baby batter on top. Bake until cooked through.
10. Strawberry Sourdough Dutch Baby
A simple sourdough dutch baby recipe often makes way onto our table throughout the year. The flavor is refreshing and it is so easy to make. Simply heat your strawberries in a cast iron pan, blend up the dutch baby ingredients and bake in the oven until fluffy.
11. Sourdough Hagelslag (Bread with chocolate and sprinkles)
If you need a fast breakfast idea, this is one of the many ‘kid approved’ sourdough recipes in our family. This recipe is a piece of sourdough bread – with cold butter – and chocolate sprinkles. Easy and delicious.
12. Sourdough Lemon Poppyseed Loaf
This lemon poppyseed sourdough loaf is a great quick bread recipe. It is bursting with lemon flavor thanks to the lemon syrup and lemon glaze on top. A true winner in our household!
13. Chocolate Chip Sourdough French Toast Casserole
If you like French toast, make this casserole. We added chocolate chips and a cream cheese icing for a ‘dessert for breakfast’ kind of feel.
14. Baked Sourdough Green Donuts
This recipe takes our vanilla cake donut base and blends in spinach – giving a lovely green color. Top it with vanilla glaze and sprinkles. Your kids will love this green donut for breakfast!
15. Sourdough Vanilla Cake Donuts (with chocolate and sprinkles)
These fluffy donuts are baked in the oven and topped with chocolate and sprinkles. Our kids love how moist and flavorful these donuts are!
16. Cranberry Orange Sourdough English Muffin Bread
If you like sourdough English muffin bread, this recipe swaps out the liquid (water / milk) with orange juice. It is flavorful with the cranberries, too.
17. Sourdough English Muffin Bread
Sourdough English muffin bread is a great recipe if you like English muffins but are not a fan of the process to make them (IE standing over top of a cast iron skillet or waiting for them to cook in the oven). This is a great, sliceable loaf to enjoy. Perfect for making sourdough breakfast sandwiches.
18. Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
We love a good sourdough cinnamon roll. This is an enriched batter with eggs and butter. The cinnamon rolls are soft and fluffy – which we love. This recipe is topped with a cream cheese frosting (which in our opinion, no cinnamon roll should ever be without!).
19. Sourdough Cinnamon Crunch Bagel
If you like the cinnamon crunch bagel from Panera- this one might be right up your alley. These bagels have a cinnamon swirl on the inside and a delicious cinnamon crunch on the outside. A delicious and sweet sourdough breakfast recipe to start your morning.
20. Sourdough Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread
If you like cinnamon rolls – try this sourdough cinnamon pull apart bread. This recipe takes the delicious sourdough cinnamon roll base and is then assembled to be pull apart. Each person gets to take a slice to enjoy (kind of like monkey bread)!
21. Sourdough Chocolate Chip Bagels
We love a good chocolate chip bagel. This is one of our classic bagel recipes – with a chewy taste (just as a bagel should be) and lots of chocolate on the inside.
22. Apple Cinnamon Sourdough Bagels
There is something so sweet about apple cinnamon bagels. The apples are diced finely and almost melt into the bagel. Add in a cinnamon swirl and my gosh – it is delicious.
23. Sourdough Discard Chocolate Cake Donut
We love a good chocolate donut. Especially if it’s sourdough. While these are no Dunkin Donut – donuts because they are baked rather than fried, they are easy to make at home and perfect for a sweet treat. Keep them plain, top them with a glaze or if you are feeling fancy – top them with a ganache.
24. Sourdough Apple Dutch Baby
Sourdough dutch baby recipes come together quick – making a delicious breakfast. This rendition has soft apples and is sprinkled with cinnamon sugar on top. We like this at all times of year – though the best sourdough apple recipes occur in the fall.
25. Sourdough French Toast Casserole (with cream cheese)
If you have leftover sourdough bread or sourdough bread that has gone stale, consider making this recipe. This is like a slice of French toast – but easier. Prep the bread the night before and enjoy for breakfast (or dessert). The cream cheese frosting truly makes the recipe shine. It is one of the ultimate easy sourdough breakfast recipes.
26. Sourdough Discard Banana Muffins
If you put mini muffins in front of my family, I can guarantee they will be gone in one day. Something about a bite size muffin makes them so easy to eat! We love that these have almond flour for a slight nutty note – and chocolate chips, too.
27. Lemon Blueberry Sourdough Dutch Baby
This lemon blueberry sourdough dutch baby is one rendition of the sourdough dutch baby we can not get enough of. Not only does this recipe come together quick but it tastes great, too! The lemon is the perfect addition to the recipe to make the blueberry flavor – pop.
28. Sourdough Pretzel Bagels (Trader Joes Dupe)
Pretzel bagels have a special place in our hearts. These bagels are delightfully chewy and have the best flavor. They make an excellent sourdough breakfast sandwich option, too!
29. Sourdough Green Pancakes (made with spinach)
These green pancakes are an absolute winner for kids. They are dyed green naturally from spinach and you can not taste it one bit. Truly a recipe of love!
30. Sourdough Sticky Buns
If you like cinnamon rolls, these sticky buns are delightful. The caramel sauce is poured in the bottom of the pan before the cinnamon rolls are baked in the sauce. They are sticky and sweet with little crunch from the nuts. Delicious!
31. Sourdough Bagels
Sourdough bagels are so versatile. You can keep them plain or add in sweet flavors like chocolate chips, cinnamon chips or even fruit (like apples). You can also make them savory by adding in cheese, jalapeños, everything but the bagel seasoning or fresh herbs and spices.
