Have you baked with einkorn flour yet? If you haven’t, you should!

WHY EINKORN flour?
While I don't have celiac disease, I usually stick to gluten-free goodies because my tummy isn’t a fan of gluten. The good news? I’ve found that I can enjoy einkorn flour!
It has a lower gluten content than other wheat flours, which makes it much easier on my digestive system. (Just a quick note: if you do have celiac disease, einkorn won’t be your friend.)
What I love most about einkorn is its rich history. It's one of the very first domesticated grains, which means people have been baking with it for thousands of years. Plus, it’s packed with nutrition! Einkorn boasts higher levels of protein, zinc, iron, and those wonderful B vitamins compared to regular wheat flour. So not only do I get to enjoy delicious baked treats, but I’m also fueling my body with wholesome goodness.
Enjoy this easy, protein-packed einkorn pancake recipe! I promise you that they are delicious and fluffy!
The added yogurt is a fantastic way to sneak in some extra protein to power up your day! It not only enhances the flavor but also keeps you feeling satisfied and energized longer. These whip up in a few minutes so don’t be afraid to try them on a busy morning! Double the recipe and you can snack on them all day long!
