Notes

Using Sourdough Discard
If you are using sourdough discard, consider adding more sweetener to adjust to personal preference. The longer sourdough discard sits in the fridge, the more sour it can be. Adjust if needed. 
Collagen / Protein Powder
We use unsweetened collagen powder. Right now we have been using Vital Protein Beef Collagen and have not tested with other brands or flavors. One scoop is the equivalent of 3 TBS.

    • Apple cinnamon (Diced apples finely and sprinkle in cinnamon)

    • Blueberry lemon (Add lemon zest and fresh or frozen blueberries)
    • Banana Nut (Add mashed banana and walnuts)
    • Mixed berries 
    • Chocolate chips
    • Nuts

  • Topping Options:
    • Butter
