Indulge in a magical breakfast with Sourdough Discard Rainbow Pancakes! Fluffy, colorful, and ready in under 30 minutes. Perfect for St. Patrick's Day fun!


Sourdough Discard Rainbow Pancakes

Sourdough Discard Rainbow Pancakes are light, fluffy and so fun for a St.Patricks Day breakfast. This is a great way to use up your sourdough discard and best of all these pancakes are ready in under 30 minutes. No need to let rest overnight, the sourdough discard is enough to give these pancakes a soft and fluffy texture. Add food coloring for a fun rainbow breakfast or leave as is. Either way they're a delicious breakfast to start your morning out right! My kids devoured these so fast and for any leftovers they freeze and reheat wonderfully.


Sourdough Discard Rainbow Pancakes

To Freeze


Place pancakes on a parchment lined baking pan in an even layer. Place in freezer until frozen. Remove to a resealable bag and store in freezer for up to 6 months. To reheat, wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds until thawed and just warm. Be careful not to over heat or they'll turn in to a hard rubbery disk.
