vegan oatmeal sourdough pancakes

With only a few simple ingredients, this Vegan Sourdough & Oatmeal Pancake recipe will take you to the next level of eating your favorite meal!

Despite how much we enjoy eating pancakes, I know that I don’t want to eat the readymix type. 

Ever since I learned how good fermented foods were for us, I decided to ferment almost everything we eat–including whole wheat flour.

Although I don’t make sourdough bread as often, I use it to make these Vegan Sourdough & Oatmeal Pancakes. I can get the same taste of sourdough with much less work.

It’s really hard to believe that sour taste mixed with a little bit of salt, sugar and without any kind of vegan eggs can give these Vegan Sourdough & Oatmeal Pancakes extraordinary flavors. You can’t get these kinds of flavors from any ready-to-cook pancake mix.

Eating pancakes on late Sunday morning has been our family ritual for many years. 

I make these Vegan Sourdough & Oatmeal Pancakes with other kinds of vegetable dishes and a big plate of fruits. We enjoy them with homemade vegan butter and good maple syrup.

The combinations of whole flour, with nutty, sweet & tangy flavors are incomparable.

Ready to try eating your favorite pancakes the way I do? Let me show you how!…

vegetable sourdough pancakes

These Vegetable Sourdough Pancakes are amazing. They are so simple to make, full of vegetables. They are fermented, easier to digest and very tasty! 

Once I was silly to think that the only way to eat sourdough was to turn it into sourdough bread. As the process of making sourdough bread is quite complicated, so I was turned away from making it for so long.

I changed my way of thinking and came up with the idea of eating sourdough when I decided to learn to make sourdough starter a while back. After I learned and was comfortable doing it, I didn’t like the part where I had to discard the flour and stopped following the directions.

Instead, I ferment whole wheat (sourdough starter) and keep it in the fridge. I use it mostly to make Vegetable Sourdough Pancakes and oatmeal sourdough pancakes for my family’s Sunday brunch and it’s been great.…

how to roll oats at home

Have you wondered How to Roll Oats at Home? Without any expensive equipment, this method can change the way you eat rolled oats for good! 

After buying rolled oats for years, I wanted to try and roll my own. As I learned so much about the problems with phytic acid in them, I looked for sprouted rolled oats on the market and found none. Then, I searched for ways to roll my own so I could sprout them first, but all I found was a method using a machine that is a bit pricey and complicated.

The way the rolled oats turned out from this machine wasn’t convincing enough for me to buy yet another thing for my kitchen, so I looked for ways I can use what I already own instead.…

sourdough & kale crepes

Having too much sourdough starter or looking for a way to add more green to your favorite recipe? Perfect, these Sourdough & Kale Crepes offer both!

However, once I got the sourdough starter started successfully, I learned to make no-knead sourdough that my family enjoys very much. Since then, no-knead sourdough bread is a recipe I make often.

Big Vegetarian Breakfast

Being vegetarian and raising my daughter, I have to be very careful and make sure I’m not doing anything nutrition-wise I’ll regret years from now. Also, thanks to all the questions and concerns from both sides of my family, I have been very cautious. I’m already inclined to be very cautious, so this has taken it to an extreme regarding nutrition. I’m glad for that though because nutritional knowledge and cooking techniques have also become my passion.  

Breakfast is our biggest meal of the day, and I make sure that we all have good, balanced food, to start our day with. We eat a full breakfast every day. It’s sad knowing there are so many people skipping breakfast because they don’t have, or make, the time to eat it. Even though there is no scientific proof that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I know from experience that it’s very important.

I’m going to share how I prepare breakfast with you, which is rather gourmet, but simple at the same time. Each morning, we all have fruits, proteins, carbohydrates, and a probiotic drink. How on earth can we eat all that for breakfast you might think, right?…
