Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until manageable.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Pour in the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until a cohesive, slightly tacky dough forms. Adjust consistency with flour or milk as needed.
- Shape the Dough Balls:
- Lightly flour your work surface, turn out the dough, and divide it into 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Grease a baking pan (9-inch round or loaf) and arrange the dough balls, leaving space for expansion.
- Drizzle and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drizzle honey over the dough balls, ensuring even coverage. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and coconut oil.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving for optimal texture.
- Customize with add-ins like nuts or dried fruits, or top with a simple glaze for extra sweetness.
