Cinnamon & Apple Sourdough Pancakes

Looking for a warming breakfast recipe to welcome in the cooler weather? Cinnamon & Apple Sourdough Pancakes are a fan favourite in my household and are simple, nutritious, and gut-healthy – a treat for the kids…and grown-ups! 😉

Ingredients:

2 cups sourdough discard or active sourdough starter 

2 eggs

¼ cup melted coconut oil

2 TBSP honey

½ TSP salt

1 TSP baking soda

1 large apple, grated

2 TSP cinnamon

2 TBSP Complete Prebiotic

Coconut oil for frying

Method:

  1. Mix all of your ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the baking soda last, and watch the starter foam up.
  2. Melt a tablespoon of coconut oil in a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Once it is hot enough to produce a sizzle, pour 1/2 cup of the pancake batter right onto the hot oil.  Turn the heat down to medium-low so that the pancake has a chance to cook through without the bottom burning. After the top is nice and bubbly, and no more bubbles are being produced – flip!
  3. Cook the second side for another 30 seconds to a minute, or until cooked through and golden brown.

What makes this recipe so gut-healthy?

  • Sourdough is a great gut-healthy option as it contains beneficial bacteria, which contribute to the bacterial diversity in your microbiome. You can find out more about the benefits of sourdough here.
  • Apples are rich in the prebiotic fibre, inulin, which feeds our good bacteria and is fermented by beneficial bacteria to produce short-chain fatty acids, such as butyrate.
  • Chuckling Goat Complete Prebiotic is a combination of 18 different types of naturally occurring fibre, and can account for 10 g out of your recommended 30 g daily intake.
