Sourdough Discard Waffles

Have a lot of discard to use up? Here’s the perfect recipe to use over 1000 grams of discard.

These sourdough discard waffles are a more nourishing option than conventional waffles because the fermented sourdough discard supports digestion, mineral absorption, and blood sugar balance. Fermentation helps break down antinutrients like phytic acid, making minerals more bioavailable and gentler on the gut. Using whole ingredients like eggs and butter provides fat-soluble vitamins that support hormone health, satiety, and stable energy, while warming spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove support blood sugar regulation and digestion. Because they are higher in protein, fats, and fermented structure, these waffles are more satisfying, easier to digest, and far more supportive of metabolic and gut health than typical refined waffles.
