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!

They work out deliciously every time!
These turned out amazing. I used olive oil instead of almond oil. Also I added 1 Tbsp of chia seeds with an extra Tbsp of milk and 1 Tbsp of molasses. :)
Great recipe! My family loved these. I didnt have almond oil so used sunflower and also had to use egg replacer but they still turned out really well. I was told they were the best ever! Thanks so much for the recipe, I never would have thought of using soda water.
Cheers
Perfect waffles. Thank you!
My kids loved them! So happy for a healthy breakfast that doesn’t seem like it LOL
Made these this morning with half spelt flour and half oat flour, which is my default baking mix. Excellent recipe.
