Comment on Easiest GF Sourdough Starter by Chantal.
Hi Jill! Here’s a link to the oat-free bread recipes on Fresh is Real: https://www.freshisreal.com/category/bread/oat-free-bread/.
Although in many of my GF bread recipes, GF oat flour can usually be substituted with another light-textured flour.
This is the top GF sourdough recipe on my site. Not as starch-heavy as other recipes, and it’s a good beginner recipe: https://www.freshisreal.com/buckwheat-sourdough-loaf-gluten-free-vegan/ You can easily sub the oat flour in this recipe. Let me know if you want some more guidance.
The Simple Sorghum Sourdough is another popular and gorgeous sourdough recipe. https://www.freshisreal.com/simple-sorghum-sourdough/ It calls for a GF sorghum starter, but I think many have made it with a brown rice starter. This recipe is oat-free.
Another great GF oat-free sourdough is the Wild Yeast Bread recipe: https://www.freshisreal.com/wild-yeast-bread-gf-v/
For a quick sourdough naan bread recipe that is also oat-free, check out: https://www.freshisreal.com/quick-sourdough-naan-bread-gf-v/
You can find the recipe for amazingly tasty GF sourdough rolls in this post, right above the directions for the yeasted version. https://www.freshisreal.com/soft-gluten-free-dinner-rolls/
As for a sourdough pancake recipe, I don’t have one on my site yet, but I make them all the time. Once you have a starter, let me know, and I can help you with some suggestions.

Easiest GF Sourdough Starter
Hi Denise! I think I have both GF sourdough pancakes and waffle recipes in my Facebook group. Are you in the group already? If not search, Gluten-Free Vegan Baking by Fresh is Real on Facebook and request to join. Once in the group, in the search bar type in waffles or pancakes and it should bring up any older posts with recipes. You mentioned that you don’t use oats, what do you typically use to replace eggs in a gluten-free recipe? Or do you consume eggs?

Hi Helen! I’m just seeing your questions now. Not sure what you decided to do but yes, in a pinch you could feed your starter a different gluten-free flour such as white rice flour or sorghum. I would probably choose sorghum first as it too works very well to create a GF sourdough starter.

Hi Sarah! Of course, you can! Other GF flours that work well for GF sourdough starters are sorghum flour, light buckwheat flour (or freshly milled buckwheat groats), millet, GF oat, and grain-free cassava flour. I’ve tried with many other GF flours, such as teff (great for Injera), dark buckwheat, green banana flour, etc., but those flours tend to require more attention to maintain.

Banana Sourdough Seed Loaf
Hi Ann! I think using sorghum flour instead of oat flour for 1/2 cup should be fine. Alternatively, almond flour would work too if you’re not allergic to nuts.
Yeast-Free Buckwheat Blender Bread
Hi June! I think I might of answered your question on a different platform but I’ll answer here again in case it can help someone else. You can definitely mix in the roughly mashed banana with some add-ins like nuts after the blending step. It creates a more textured bread instead of a smoother texture but it is equally delicious.
Nutritious Gluten-Free Vegan Zucchini Quick Bread (Oil-Free)
Hi Ann! Did you use a preheated Dutch oven to bake the bread? With this recipe, ensuring your oven is preheated as well as a large Dutch oven really helps with the moisture.The smaller grated zucchini is fine. Did you use whole psyllium husk? Was your yogurt very thin?
Yeast-Free Buckwheat Blender Bread
Hi Megan! This is a reply that I shared with another baker with the same question.
I did test the recipe with buckwheat flour, but the results weren’t as great but comparable. I’ve been looking for my notes as I tested this variation before the holidays. The idea would be to use 175g of light buckwheat flour to replace the 175g of buckwheat groats with enough water to moisten the mixture. You’ll need at least one cup of water, possibly a bit more. I would still use a blender to help blend/purée all the ingredients into a smooth batter-like dough. If you try it before I find my notes or try it again, please share your results with us.
7-Inch Sourdough Boule (GF/V)
Hi Lisa! With the cassava flour sourdough starter did you change any other ingredients in the bread recipe? It’s possible that using a grain-free starter such as cassava starter could have contribute to a dough texture with more moisture. Did you try again after this attempt? I realize you posted your comment a few months ago but I’m just seeing it now.
