Fluffy Einkorn Flour Pancakes Made with Fresh Milled Wheat

Last Updated on May 30, 2026 by Kimberly

Saturday morning pancakes are a tradition at our house. While I love making easy baking sheet pancakes during the week, weekends call for something a little more special. That’s why I started making einkorn flour pancakes.

Why You’ll Love Einkorn Flour Pancakes

Simple and Easy Recipe – These pancakes are so easy to whip up quickly. You don’t even need a mixer. Just combine your ingredients and whisk together.

Flavor – Einkorn flour gives these pancakes a slight, nutty taste. They have way more flavor than regular all-purpose four pancakes.

Nutrition – Fresh milled einkorn flour contains fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.  It really adds nutrients to these pancakes. It is a great flour for gluten-sensitive people because it’s protein structure is different than modern wheat and easier to digest.

Ingredients & Substitutions for Einkorn Flour Pancakes

• Fresh milled einkorn flour – The star of the show! I really enjoy einkorn flour in muffins and pancakes.
• Organic sugar – I get organic sugar from Costco for a great price.
• Aluminum-free baking powder – I get this baking powder.
• Salt – I love Redmond’s Real Salt.
• Protein powder (optional) – I like to add this unflavored protein powder to my baked goods for extra protein.
• Milk – I use whole milk for this recipe. You can substitute 2% milk or other dairy free alternatives in this recipe.
• Eggs – These help bind the batter.
• Melted butter – Give the pancakes a buttery flavor.
• Vanilla extract – Another great flavor enhancer.

How to Make Einkorn Flour Pancakes

Step 1: Mill einkorn berries in an electric mill.

Step 2: Add einkorn flour to a stainless steel mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, aluminum-free baking powder, salt and unflavored protein powder (optional).

Step 3: Whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.

Step 4: Make a well in the dry ingredients bowl, slowly add wet ingredients. Either whisk in or use your stand mixer on the lowest setting.

Step 5: Let batter sit 15 minutes before cooking pancakes. This helps the einkorn flour fully hydrate.

Step 6: Heat olive or avocado oil in a ceramic griddle, ceramic skillet, or cast iron skillet on medium low heat. When the pan is ready, pour in 1/4 cup pancake batter in a circle shape.

Step 7: Allow pancake to cook until bubbly on one side, then flip and cook other side. This takes about a minute per side.

Bonus Tip: Preheat your oven to 200­°F. As you finish cooking pancakes, put them on a baking sheet in the oven. This way you can keep all the pancakes warm while you finish cooking the whole batch.
