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!

Loving these waffles! Congrats on your new opportunity Sommer!!
Sommer – thank you for this amazing and healthy waffle recipe! It’s becoming a Sunday morning standard in our home. One thing we tried this morning is whipping the egg whites and folding them in right before we cook the waffles – it makes them even lighter and crispier. Thanks again :)
Great tip Martha, thanks for sharing!
I’m standing here making these as I type this and realized I forgot the water, so mine are super thick and I only managed to get 6 out of the batch, so I will have to try this again maybe in the evening instead of this early in the morning lol. Nothing syrup won’t fix though.
Awesome Waffles! Absolutely perfect! Crispy on the outside, soft & light on the inside. We loved ’em. I’ve been searching for a great spelt recipe like this for a long time. Happy to have found your website. Can’t wait to see what I will find next. Thanks!
So, we just ate these for dinner with eggs and so forth, and let me say, they are amazing!!! I love the full spelt flour flavor and the texture was soft and delicious. I pretty much know that if I cook off your site, I will not be disappointed! ( :
Congrats! you will be great with the cooking classes- waffles look amazing :)
Those waffles look gorgeous! I’ve been wanting to make some for a while now, but I had never heard of using spelt flour. What a great idea! Any excuse to pour even more maple syrup on my waffles is good with me! :D
Hi there… I’m your new friend on Twitter = ) glad to have found your site. the photos look fabulous… you know though, I might get my knickers in a twist hunting for spelt flour here.. = )
I’ve wondered what people do with spelt flour! The waffles look yummy and your presentation is outstanding!
that looks super good…fantastic clicks..
Tasty appetite
Your spelt waffles look ooh so tasty & congrats on teaching about food! Yeah to you!!
The US to metric converter got the amount of fizzy water to add completely wrong, so I added roughly double what it should have been! Luckily I had just about enough of everything to top it up to make double amounts so it was OK. The recipe was still a bit too liquid for the waffle iron but they did taste good. Would make again, after we’ve got through the mountain of them in the freezer!
Cool new teaching thing, Sommer! It’s amazing what technology is doing for everyday folks! As for your spelt waffles, these look wonderful! I love the idea of dipping the waffle bites instead of smothering them under all the butter and maple syrup … and I love the side tidbits of healthy nuts! Kudos all around!~
The waffles look yummie, and I sure would dip them into the chocolate sauce :-) Teaching cooking classes online…awesome!
I just bought a bag of spelt flour so I will be trying your waffle recipe soon, maybe this weekend, why not?
Congratulations on your video, sounds like a lot of fun;-)
I have never heard of spelt…is that weird…but they look delish and sound healthy! I love breakfast food for dinner…maybe tonight!

Congratulations, Sommer! I am making a sticky note as I write. What a great opportunity to showcase your awesome talent!
I’m loving your breakfast up there… the waffles sound fantabulous!
