Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sourdough Starter Discard
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup pureed pumpkin optional but adds a great texture

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle iron while mixing up the sourgough batter.
  • In a large bowl, add the eggs, oil, pumpkin (if using), salt, baking soda, honey, and vanilla. Whisk ingredients until well combined, making sure that there are no clumps of baking soda.
  • Add in the sourdough starter and stir.
  • Add about 1/4 -1/2 cup of batter to your waffle maker.  This will all depend on the size of your waffle maker.  If the batter oozes over the sides, you put in too much.  If the batter doesn't cover the entire waffle plate, add a little more next time.
  • Cook the batter for about 3-5 minutes.  This time will depend on your machine.  The waffle will usually stop steaming when it is ready. It should be golden brown and not stick to the iron.
  • *If you prefer a firmer waffle, once you remove the waffles from your iron, you can spread them directly on the rack of a 350-degree preheated oven. Remove after 2-4 minutes, depending on your preferences.
