Einkorn is an ancient grain that has a nutty flavor and makes for the best pancakes and waffles!

Recently, I started using it in place of soft white wheat because of the soft texture of the Einkorn.

Whole grain Einkorn flour is full of fiber and nutrition. It also has a weaker gluten structure making it a bit easier to digest for some of those with minor gluten sensitivities.

Why I love this recipe

• Easy to make – This recipe uses simple ingredients and makes a quick weekday breakfast.
• Healthy – Using fresh milled flour, these waffles are very filling and satisfying with a delicious nutty flavor.
• Versatile – These homemade waffles can be served savory or sweet. Top with maple syrup or sour cream and chives, this is a recipe the whole family will love!

Why I mill my own flour

I choose to mill my own wheat for many reasons. The flavor, the nutrition, and the added fiber are a few.

To mill your own flour, you will need a grain mill.

I use the Nutrimill Grain Mill. (I have a coupon code: rose20 for $20 off!)
