I have recently started getting into using spelt flour more because I have about 200 pounds spelt grain in my food storage right now. I found this great YouTube video off a Pinterest pin by Jeff the Chef that looked good. I had some extra time at lunch and whipped them up, what a great recipe. It is not 100% spelt flour but it only has a little white flour so it is mostly healthy for you, unless you drowned it with syrup like my wife does (“would you like some pancake with that syrup?”).
This spelt pancake recipe would be great for adding fruit to or topping with a fruit compote. I hope Jeff shares some more great videos on his YouTube channel. Watch Jeff’s spelt pancake video below or at YouTube.
I made some very slight changes from the original in the recipe shown below. I just don’t buy small eggs and if I told you to use a pinch of salt you would ask me how much salt is a pinch of salt, so I have adjusted it accordingly. I also opted to use all spelt flour because I know spelt grain stores well in my food storage and white flour does not, it still tastes great without the white flour.
- 1⅓ cup freshly ground spelt flour
- (or 1 cup spelt flour + ⅓ cup white flour as the original recipe directs)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1½ tablespoons canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- Pre-heat electric griddle to 375 degrees..
- Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Add all wet ingredients to a 2nd mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Add dry ingredient mix to wet ingredient mixing bowl and whisk till it just comes together.
- Lightly spray your hot griddle with cooking spray.
- Use a ¼ measuring cup to scoop the pancake batter onto the griddle.
- I cook my pancakes 1 minute 45 seconds on the first side and 2 minutes 15 seconds on the second side for perfect pancakes, this may vary on your griddle.

I have made these so many times now. Simply fabulous. I love to top mine with applesauce or toast one in the toaster. Thanks for making the video, too!
Great recipe!!! Fluffy light and delicious
We love spelt flour and I have been making everything out of spelt. I have only known about spelt a couple of weeks and ordered a big bag from Bob’s Red Mill and had it sent to Winco here, I use whole wheat recipes, like Fluffy whole wheat rolls ,( 2 times) and made banana bread, muffins, but the muffins were’nt moist, so will use some apple sauce in them next time, only called for 1TBSP of oil and 2 eggs, for moisture and wasn’t enough or try a different recipe for muffins. But the spelt flour has the best flavor, better than whole wheat. : ) Can’t wait to try these pancakes sounds so yummy.
