Sourdough Discard Blueberry Waffles
Ingredients
- 220 grams sourdough discard
- 2 cups Kodiak flapjack and waffle mix ***see notes on using other brands
- 1 ¾ cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen, defrosted
Instructions
- Place your sourdough discard in a medium bowl. Add the Kodiak mix, milk, melted butter, sugar and vanilla. Whisk until it’s all combined.
- Let your waffle maker preheat according to your waffle iron’s directions. I set mine to medium-high. Spray with non-stick spray if needed.
- Place about ¾ cup of batter into the waffle iron (or the regular amount your waffle iron takes) and sprinkle the top with blueberries. Cook your waffle to desired doneness- I cook mine for about 6 minutes or so, until golden brown.
Notes
Sourdough Discard Blueberry Waffles
If you’re anything like me, you end up with quite a bit of sourdough discard after feeding your starter, quite frequently. And you don’t want to, well, actually discard it! It can be made into something delicious after all. But what?
These easy blueberry waffles! With a few ingredients- including a shortcut pancake mix – these waffles are the perfect use of your leftover discard.
Recipe Tips and Troubleshooting
You can. BUT, you’ll have to adjust for the right amount of liquid verses dry ingredients. You want to add just enough liquid to create a waffle batter consistency, and for some mixes that may require more liquid, and for other’s less. Start with a lower amount and keep adjusting until you get there.
Yes! I made mine with almond milk, but these should work with any milk you prefer.
There’s probably two reasons for this to happen…first, your sourdough discard. Mine is equal parts flour and water, but if you use a different hydration ratio, your discard may be stiffer or looser than what the recipe is written for, thereby making the batter too thick or too thin. To remedy, you can add more milk to the batter (if it’s too thick) or add a bit more pancake mix to the batter to make it thicker. The second reason the waffles might not be coming out, is your pancake mix. As mentioned above, you can use a different mix than I did, but some mixes require more (or less!) liquid than others. You can remedy in the same way- add more milk if the batter is too thick, or add more of the mix if it’s too thin.
Sure! Other berries are cool, or you could do chocolate chips (not a fruit, but who’s counting!).
Definitely. Waffles are some of my favorite meal prep or make ahead foods! They are very easy to make, store, and re-heat. I usually make mine and eat them all week- just pop them in a toaster or oven to warm and crisp them up slightly. Or, you can freeze them, and save them for another time!
Well, first of all, if you aren’t eating the waffles as soon as they come out of the iron- I applaud your restraint! Unless of course, you’re meal prepping them, then hey, that makes sense (but I still sneak one every time!). But moving on, if you are waiting until they are all done to eat the waffles, I recommend laying them in a single layer on a sheet pan and keeping them in a warm oven. Not hot, ’cause you don’t want to cook them more! But warm enough that they won’t be cooling, which releases steam, which would make them soggy. For presentation, you can totally stack them up on a plate to carry to the table though 😉 !
