Spelt Flour Recipes
Sometimes I can’t resist a naughty breakfast like brownie belgiam waffles, or caramel apple cinnamon rolls.
Then I straighten my halo and take a recipe the other direction. When I’m really on my A-game, no one even notices!
These golden spelt waffles are a healthy recipe my family adores.
They are light, airy and crisp. The perfect platform for pure maple syrup. Plus the spelt offers a wondrously nutty essence, that you just don’t get with plain old flour.
Surprisingly, these are my family’s favorite waffles. They do not miss the white-processed flour. They do not miss the handful of white sugar, and they do not miss the additional 1/4 cup of oil that I took out.
So you can eat your crispy spelt waffles on Saturday morning, without a single ounce of guilt, and still have dessert Saturday night!
Sounds like a winner to me.
Spelt Flour Waffles Tips & Tricks
- Keep your waffles warm while making them by heating the oven to 200 F and placing the cooked waffles on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. That way they will all stay warm until you are ready to serve them!
- Serve these healthy spelt waffles with your favorite waffle toppings like whipped cream, maple syrup, fruit or nut butters! Or go crazy and make a homemade chicken and waffles!
- Make sure to preheat the waffle iron and spray with nonstick spray!
Frequently Asked Questions
Spelt flour is a whole grain flour that has more nutritional value than regular all-purpose flour. It is easy to digest and great to use in baking!
Definitely! If you don’t have spelt flour on hand, you can use a simple whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour in this easy waffles recipe.
Serve your spelt flour waffles with anything you would serve with regular waffles! Butter, maple syrup and whipped cream is a great place to start. For some added nutrition, throw on some berries or a sliced banana!
If you have leftover waffles that you would like to freeze, place them in a freezer safe container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you don’t want the waffles to stick together, you can place a piece of parchment paper in between each one, or freeze them on a baking sheet for 2-3 hours before transferring to a bag or container. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or warm them up in the oven until heated through!

The waffles are indeed very fluffy and the news for the video are very exciting. Congratulations. If the time allows it I will try to connect.
I’m so happy to hear that you are going to be teaching a class on the Motherhood! How exciting. And I just love this recipe you shared with me today. I am craving waffles badly now! Thank you for sharing, my friend!
Those waffles looks so wholesome. Love it! Congrats on your new venture – sounds like a blast!
I’ve never used spelt flour, but I’m definitely up for making guilty foods less guilty, and yet taste awesome! These look like the perfect brunch :)
Congrats on the cooking class online!! These waffles look pretty darn good for being so (ahem)healthy;) Maybe a little Nutella drizzle to make them a little less healthy?;)
Congrats!
Congratulations!! Such a great idea to use spelt flour, looks perfect!
Congratulations!! I bet these waffles are good, though at first glance I always pick the naughtier recipe :) But if you say they’re delish, then I’m sure they’re delish! Besides, there’s always maple syrup!!
Oh la la! I bet the seltzer makes these so airy and amazing!
Congrats!!
Those waffles look wonderful.
The online class is such a cool news! Date bookmarked :) and recipe too. I have never baked with spelt flour and it’s about time I try it out. Thanks for the recipe
What a thick, lovely waffle. Congrats on the class – looks awesome!
The spelt Waffles look crisp and delicious! Healthy & good idea to use spelt instead of refined flour.
Exciting news about your teaching gig, congratulations! Isn’t it nice to fool people into believing you’re all behaving and being nice with your food? Such a great idea to use spelt, I like using the alternative flours since they have so much extra flavour.
By the way, the stock was sensational because my husband made it and he has the golden touch with stock. He reduced it down to a fifth of its original state and the flavour was perfectly rich without being oversalty and the fat content was perfect!
congratulations on your teaching lessons, Sommer.
the waffles look so good, love the nutty flavor of the spelt flour.
thanks for sharing, hope you’ll have a wonderful Monday
I’ve never baked with spelt flour before. These look so light and crispy, I’m guessing the seltzer water is one of the secrets. Can’t wait for the cooking class!
I love spelt bread – but have not tried to make anything with spelt flour… looking forward to trying this!!
lovely waffles and congrats so excited for you
