What the heck is einkorn flour, why am I so obsessed with it, and what are the best recipes for getting started with einkorn flour?

Get my top 5, no-fail, family favorite einkorn recipes to help you get started baking with einkorn the easy way!

Plus, find out a little bit more about what makes einkorn flour so special!
I've always wanted to try einkorn! This makes it look so easy!! And oh man do those recipes look amazing!

Ok, ok... I'll admit it. I'm kinda obsessed with Einkorn! And really, it's no wonder...

Not only does it taste amazing, but it also allows my family (most of whom have severe reactions to gluten) to enjoy our favorite recipes without trying to convert them to gluten free.

But wait, doesn't Einkorn Flour contain gluten?

It does, yes. However, because Einkorn is the "original grain" and has never been hybridized (I'm not just talking about GMOs, I'm talking about the stuff that was done to grain even in ancient times!), your body actually knows what to do with it to break it down properly.

See, modern wheat has 42 chromosomes whereas Einkorn only has 14. This makes it much easier on our bodies and in most people does not trigger an allergic response.

In fact, the author of the book Wheat Belly excluded Einkorn from his statements regarding wheat as the Einkorn flour doesn't cause the body to react in the same way that other wheat does! You can read more about there here.

Best Recipes for Getting Started with Einkorn Flour

These 5 recipes are a guaranteed strong start to your Einkorn journey! Swap these homemade products for the ones you already make, and I would be surprised if anyone even notices... no one in my friends and family circle ever notices.

Just the same food I've always made, but way better for you :-) I would love for you to be able to try it as well, and see how good you and your family can feel after removing modern wheat from your diet.

But that can be tricky when you're just starting out with Einkorn... So here are my 5 favorite recipes, made only with Einkorn Flour, to help ensure that your first tries are error free!

These recipes are time tested and sure to be favorites in your family too! And they are all made with Einkorn Flour so you don't have to guess about anything!

    I am a little surprised to find a website devoted to Einkorn flour! I have been using it for a year or less-
    (not sure of the time frame). Other than the company that I buy it from -(the company of course has a list of recipes).
    I did purchase their book, but I also play around with my own recipes when I use this flour.

    I have a question: do you have a recipe for sourdough drop biscuits with Einkorn?

    sincerely, D

      Hi D! I’m glad you found me! It’s all we use on this site and you can see my full einkorn archives here: https://www.amodernhomestead.com/category/einkorn-flour/

      As for a sourdough drop biscuit, I don’t have a recipe for that developed yet. However, these non-sourdough einkorn drop biscuits are amazing!!

      I hope that helps, and I hope to see you back often! :-)
