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.
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! ( :
