Simple. Fluffy. Naturally sweet.

Spelt pancakes are a wholesome twist on a classic breakfast. They’re soft, easy to make, and pair beautifully with real maple syrup. These are perfect if you’re after something lighter than regular pancakes.

Why use spelt flour?

Spelt adds a mild, nutty flavour and keeps the pancakes tender. It’s less processed than all-purpose flour and often easier to digest. Great for a balanced breakfast or lazy weekend brunch.
