Golden Einkorn Pancakes

 

Golden Einkorn Pancakes

I have tried many pancake recipes over the years. This is our current favorite. I love grinding fresh Einkorn wheat berries for this recipe in my Vitamix. With slightly modified ingredients, pancakes easily become a superfood.

  • 190 g grams Einkorn wheat berries (can substitute 190 g ground Einkorn wheat flour (~2 cups))
  • 2 Tbsp flax seed
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk (your choice)
  • 1/2 cup yogurt, plain
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted (grass fed when possible)
  1. Grind wheat berries and flax seeds in your Vitamix or grain mill until consistency of flour. I use my Vitamix and start at 1 and slowly increase to 10, for about 1 minute.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine wheat/flax seed, baking powder, brown sugar, & sea salt. Mix with a whisk.
  3. In a small bowl combine eggs, milk, yogurt and melted butter.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir just until mixed.
  5. Pour batter into a hot skillet, cook until golden brown on both sides. Einkorn flour does not bubble like other flours do, so watch the bottoms carefully.
  6. Serve warm with real maple syrup and grass fed butter.

This recipe has been adapted from the Whole Grain Einkorn Pancakes recipe on the Jovial website.  They are a wonderful resource for using Einkorn flour.  If you need more specifics on this recipe or working with Einkorn, hop on over to their site and start exploring.

Note: 1 cup of ground Einkorn is the same as 95 grams of wheat berries.

I have not tried this recipe with other types of wheat.

I purchase my Einkorn wheat berries from Azure Standard.  You can also find them for sale on the Jovial website.
