However, another reason to use fresh milled Einkorn flour is for the amazing flavor it adds to your recipes.

Ancient grains are easier on the digestive system compared to modern wheat. If I am not long fermenting a recipe, I always choose Einkorn flour for this reason.

It’s nutty flavor pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the chocolate chips!

To mill my Einkorn berries, I use a grain mill.

The grain mill I use is the Nutrimill Classic Grain Mill
