(Pancake, Waffle, or Sheet Bake Option!)
Looking for a nourishing breakfast that feels like a treat but actually supports your gut and hormones? Say hello to my Overnight Sourdough Pancakes with Collagen, a family-favorite recipe that’s versatile, easy to digest, and full of wholesome, real food ingredients.
Whether you're flipping pancakes, pouring waffles, or baking it up sheet-style for a no-fuss morning, this recipe is packed with flavor and function.
Why This Recipe Supports Gut Health
This isn’t your average pancake mix. A few key ingredients make it gut-loving and steady energy friendly:
Overnight Fermentation
Letting the batter sit overnight gives the natural sourdough culture time to break down gluten and phytic acid, making the grains easier to digest and nutrients more bioavailable. Fermentation also gives a subtle tangy flavor and helps support a healthy gut microbiome.
Collagen Powder
Adding a scoop (or three!) of unflavored collagen powder boosts the protein content while supporting skin, joints, hair, and gut lining integrity. It’s a simple upgrade that blends right into the batter without altering the taste.
Naturally Sweetened
Sweetened with just a touch of raw honey or pure maple syrup, this recipe keeps your steady energy steadier than typical ultra-sweet breakfast options.
Cinnamon for Steady energy Balance
Cinnamon isn't just a cozy spice, it’s also been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce post-meal energy crashes. Including a generous dose in these pancakes gives them a warm, comforting flavor and adds an extra layer of metabolic support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Overnight Sourdough Pancakes with Collagen ahead of time?
Yes. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months and thaw as needed. They make an easy grab-and-go option.
Does the collagen survive baking?
Yes. Yonder collagen is hydrolyzed, so it is already broken down into small, heat-stable peptides. They hold up through standard baking temperatures and only break down at far higher heat, so you get the same collagen whether you bake this recipe or enjoy the batter raw.
How does the collagen work in this recipe?
It adds about 10 to 20g of collagen (one to two scoops) plus a bonus of clean grass-fed protein, and flavorless collagen blends in without changing the taste or texture.
Which Yonder collagen works best in this recipe?
Flavorless Yonder collagen is the best match here, since it blends in without adding sweetness or changing the flavor. For a flavored twist, our chocolate or vanilla collagen works too.
