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:

Mix all of your ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the baking soda last, and watch the starter foam up.
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!
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.

Cinnamon contains antibacterial and antimicrobial properties ¹. Read more about the benefits of cinnamon 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.
