How to Make Healthy Pumpkin Sourdough Discard Pancakes

  1. Preheat your pan over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk (adjust as needed for desired consistency), melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the sourdough discard and the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt) until just combined. Don't overmix!
  4. Test the pan's temperature by adding a few drops of water; if they sizzle immediately, it's ready.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
