Sourdough Discard Waffles
These Sourdough Discard Waffles are so incredibly easy to make, a great way to use up your discard, and are absolutely delicious! When you start to make sourdough bread, you will learn that your starter grows FAST. When you feed it, you should also be discarding some of the starter to keep it healthy and bubbly. This sourdough discard is what you keep in a separate jar and not throw away! You can make SO many other goodies with sourdough discard like pancakes, bagels, buns, pretzels, and more. I will be sharing more sourdough discard recipes soon! If you are new to sourdough making and bread, check out my post on Organic Sourdough Bread.

Why You Should Be Eating Sourdough
Easy to Digest
The bacteria-yeast composition will start to breakdown the starches found in the grains before it even reaches your stomach!! Most of the work is done before you consume, making it much easier on your gut.
Lower Glycemic Index
Sourdough is fermented in a way that depletes bad starches within it. Your blood sugar won’t rise drastically upon eating it.
Better for Gluten Sensitivity
The longer fermentation time for sourdough bread means that much of the protein gluten is broken down into amino acids before you consume it.
Provides Healthy Bacteria
Sourdough is fermented in a way that fosters more beneficial bacteria in the bread and in your body when you eat it.
Made with 2 Simple Ingredients
Real sourdough starter contains only 2 ingredients: flour & water, and salt.
Macros & Nutrients
Sourdough is packed with nutrients, healthy carbs, protein, fiber, iron and vitamins like potassium, folate & vitamin B. It is not crazy high in calories either.
Sourdough Discard Waffles Ingredients
- 1 cup organic all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp monk fruit

How To Make Them
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients. Add in the wet and mix until just combined.
- Preheat a large waffle maker. This is the one I have. Lightly spray the surface so it does not stick.
- Divide the batter among the waffle maker slots (this recipe makes 8 large) and cook until waffle indicator light turns off. Serve with your favorite syrup and enjoy!!
How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for 3 days. Just pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds or so to reheat.
