Why You’ll Like Einkorn Cinnamon Waffles

Ancient Grain: When it comes to waffles, einkorn waffles are in a league of their own. Those unique properties are what make them special and a favorite among many. First einkorn is an ancient grain that has been around since the beginning of time.  As a matter of fact, other wheat, including ancient varieties like spelt and durum came from einkorn berries. 

Gluten Sensitivity: Einkorn wheat is pretty special due to the fact that it’s weaker gluten structure is more easily digested. This characteristic is optimal for people with gluten sensitivities. 

Nutrient Content:  When compared to waffles made with modern wheat, there is absolutely no comparison. Homemade waffles made with einkorn flour have more nutrients: like beta carotene, protein, b-vitamins and antioxidants. 

In addition, unlike modern wheat,  einkorn wheat has not been genetically altered in any way. While einkorn does contain gluten, that gluten is of a weaker variety making it easier to digest.

Flavor:  Einkorn wheat flour has a naturally nutty flavor that is rich in depth. Combined with the warmth of cinnamon, the flavors really combine to make a delicious waffle that the entire family will enjoy. 

Filling: The nutrient density of these waffles make them a meal by itself. I mean don’t get me wrong, bacon and eggs still make a perfect pairing. But, you’ll be surprised at just how filling these einkorn waffles are.
