- Add the eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Einkorn Flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir into the butter mixture until smooth.

Making this today with Cinnamon Vitality. Smells amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
I need to watch my sugar and calorie intake. So, I used erythritol instead of evaporated cane juice crystals and light butter. The best lower carb dessert I have ever made. Very delicious – thank you for the initial recipe.
Great recipe! Very moist and tender. I substituted some of the cane juice with honey and molasses. Love using Einkorn flour instead of GMO wheat flour.
This is some seriously good banana bread! Thanks so much for the recipe, which will replace my standby favorite family recipe using modern wheat. This tastes even better and with the einkorn is much healthier.
Hi I am looking for bread machine recipe for einkorn. I tried a loaf on the shorter cycle for basic bread but wondering if that is to many kneads not enough rising because it is quite low very heavy tastes amazing. Should i just the whole wheat setting on my machine which has a longer rise time
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. I led a class for a small group of ladies and used YL Einkorn flour. We had great success and everyone took home a loaf of this delicious banana bread.
Hello, What is the difference between the YL Einkorn Pancake Mix and the YL Einkorn Flour? I have extra Pancake Mix and would like to make scones or the banana bread. What would be the problem with using the Pancake Mix for baking? Thanks in advance!
Hi Stephanie. In addition to Einkorn Flour, the Einkorn Pancake Mix contains Brown rice flour, Amaranth flour, Tapioca flour, Sorghum flour (Sorghum bicolor), and Dhokla flour (Indian flour made from chickpeas). Many individuals have successfully used the Einkorn Pancake Mix in baking. In past blog post, we included a baguette recipe using the mix: . Enjoy and happy baking!
I used Einkorn Flour for Irish Brownies and it was awesome. I use it to make pancakes and it works super!
Irish brownies??? Can you share your recipe? ylgroundedsouls@gmail.com Thank you!
I used Einkorn Flour in my bread machine one time. While the bread was dense, it was good. I’ve also used it for pancakes. They aren’t as fluffy but they taste great. In each of these I just substituted 1 for 1 of regular flour.
My question on the above delicious sounding recipe is, can organic natural sugar crystals be substituted for the organic evaporated cane juice crystals? Hopefully someone can answer this. Thank you.
Yes Margaret, you can substitute organic natural sugar crystals for the organic evaporated can juice crystals. We hope you enjoy the recipe!
Will you be selling the whole wheat berries, so we can mill the flour ourselves for maximum nutrient content?
It’s not on the docket for the moment, but it’s not a bad idea at all! :)
I recently experimented and made Einkorn dumplings and biscuits. Both came out great. I posted the recipes on my blog if you are interested: younglivingwithsusie.com. I hope to post apple dumplings and zucchini bread sometime later this week. Lovin’ the Einkorn flour!
Just received my first order of einkorn flour. Do you have a recipe for biscuits?
Hi Sandy, we don’t at the moment, but we love the idea!
I am also interested to know if I can use the Einkorn flour in my electric bread maker. I understand it behaves differently than regular flour but I would like specific instructions instead of wasting a batch.
Hi Cheryl! We have not tested Einkorn Flour in a bread machine at this time. We would suggest contacting the manufacture of the machine prior to use as special considerations may need to be made.
Einkorn is a wonderful pure form of wheat. I am gluten sensitive and I follow the blood type diet which has helped with IBS. I use it for recipes calling for wheat. My system doesn’t seem to have a problem with einkorn in moderation . If you have celiac disease I don’t recommend it because it may cause inflammation in your system because you have a true allergy to gluten. Gary young has einkorn and so does a company called jovial. Both are great.
Can you use Einkorn wheat in a bread machine to make a loaf of bread? Or is it only good for quick breads? And if the answer is yes regarding a bread machine, would it measure differently than store-bought bread flour?
Hi Kathy! We have not tested Einkorn Flour in a bread machine at this time. We would suggest contacting the manufacture of the machine prior to use as special considerations may need to be made.
I have VERY DRY HAIR, what do you recommend for my hair and scalp.
Hi Darlene, thanks for stopping by! Essential oils like Cedarwood, Rosemary, and Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood are great for hydrating dry hair!
Hi Darlene, I love the essential oils that young living suggested. I use those exact same oils and add them to my Copaiba Vanilla Moisturising Shampoo. I get a brain boost at the same time :) Copaiba Vanilla Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner are rich hydrating formulations for dry or damaged hair. You could also add the essential oils to a spritzer bottle and spray onto your hair. It’s a great way to use for detangling as well as hydrating your hair too!
is this gluten free?
No – Einkorn is wheat. However, it’s wheat that has not been genetically modified in any way. Basically, it’s the same type of wheat that Jesus ate.
Yes. I cannot wait to try this.
Hi Donna, Einkorn Flour is not gluten free.
Dry hair can be caused by many things. Overprocessing, imbalance in hormones and pour nutrition to name a few. Try YL lavender shampoo. Get an evaluation by a good nutritionist and if you are menopausal or just delivered a baby, your doctor can check your hormone levels and your thyroid function. Try YL multivitamins for women , they are excellent.
