7 Recipes Using Sourdough Discard That The Family Will Love

When I first started my sourdough starter, I was planning on using it to make bread

Then I found out about the sourdough discard and became determined to never waste it

Now I cook with the discard more than I bake bread!

Some of my favorite recipes using sourdough discard are:

Brownies

I love brownies!

And so does the rest of my family

Which is a rare thing in my home!

These brownies are soft and delicious

Cereal is always a need in my home

It is an easy breakfast

This frosted flakes recipe is super simple and delicious

It also uses a lot of sourdough discard!

You can make a bunch of this and store it in jars

It is always gone so fast in my home

Pie crust is something that can be used in many different ways

I’ve used it to make poptarts and pizza pockets

And I plan to make pot pie with it soon!

Apple fritters are one of my favorite treats to make in my home

I use the pulp leftover from making Apple juice to make the fritters

I’m not a big cooked Apple fan, but that is a texture issue

That isn’t a problem with this recipe since the pulp is so small

I love freezer meals

I make more than enough as often as possible to help keep up with the food demand in my home

With 2 young boys, a husband, and me being a breastmilk donar, we go through a lot of food

Mini corndogs are simple to make and just need to be reheated in the oven, microwave, or air fryer when you are ready to eat them

Pancakes are another excellent make ahead meal

I make a lot of Pancakes at once and freeze most of them

Then I can reheat breakfast quickly every morning

This is the only recipe that needs yeast added to make it work

Donuts need to be light and fluffy so the yeast is a requirement

You can do that with active sourdough starter or by adding yeast to sourdough discard
