Einkorn Waffles
These einkorn waffles are golden and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and made with wholesome ancient grain flour for a nutritious breakfast upgrade. Einkorn's naturally nutty, slightly sweet flavor makes these waffles absolutely irresistible. Top them with fresh fruit and whipped cream or maple syrup and butter for a from-scratch breakfast the whole family will love.
