Looking for a delicious way to use up extra gluten-free sourdough starter? These gluten-free sourdough pancakes are so quick and easy. Perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack!

The unique sourdough flavour goes well with both savoury and sweet toppings. See the section below for a few different ways to serve these pancakes.

Savoury Pancake Flavours

Savoury gluten-free sourdough pancakes are perfect with eggs. Just omit the sugar for a rich sourdough pancake.

Here are a few flavours that work well mixed into a savoury pancake. Add anywhere between 2 to 4 tbsp of a savoury addition to a batch of pancakes.

  • Chopped fresh herbs: parsley, chives, basil
  • Diced green onion
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Sweet Pancake toppings

Though maple syrup and other sugary-sweet toppings are traditional, I prefer toppings that have a focus on flavour rather than sugar.

Some of my favourite combinations are:

  • Chia Seed Jam
  • Pear slices with goat cheese
  • Sliced peaches with cream cheese 
  • Banana slices layered with yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  • Date-sweetened caramel sauce
  • Simple fermented strawberry sauce with whipping cream

Gluten-free sourdough pancakes are a delicious way to use up A LOT of extra sourdough starter. These pancakes can be savoury or sweet. See the section above for some fun and fancy serving suggestions.

  • Author: Emillie
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4–6 1x
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Sourdough
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups of active sourdough starter (or feed up the starter the night before, see notes)
  • 1/4 cup starch
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix all of the ingredients into the fermented sourdough starter.
  2. Heat a griddle on medium. Scoop out 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle.
  3. When the pancake starts to bubble and the edges firm up, flip and cook for another 2 minutes. They should be nicely browned on both sides.
  4. Serve immediately with one of the sugar-free toppings recommended in the section above.

Notes

  • If you don’t have extra gluten-free sourdough starter, then mix 1/2 cup of starter with 1 cup of water and 1 1/4 cups of flour the night before.
  • Gluten-free starches include potato starch, sweet rice flour (affiliate links), tapioca flour, arrowroot flour and cornstarch.
  • For the flour, use your favourite gf flour. I like whole grain oat or buckwheat flour since they’re full of flavour.
  • I typically don’t bake or cook with sugar. However, a little bit of sugar helps to balance the sourness of these pancakes. Feel free to skip it for a savoury pancake.

    Does white flour not contain gluten? Yet I see you use it in your Gluten Free Pancake recipe? I am confused 🙂

      You’re right… I’m completely GF, so I just didn’t think of that interpretation. I meant a white gf flour as listed in the notes below. I’ve fixed it now. 🙂
