What is Kamut® and why is I so good in pancakes?
Kamut® also know as Khorasan wheat is an ancient heirloom grain. The version of Khorasan wheat grown in the U.S. is trademarked as Kamut®. It is guaranteed to never be hybridized or genetically modified and it is always grown organically. Khorasan wheat is known for its nutrient density as well as its digestibility.

Ingredients
These pancakes are simple and only require six simple whole food ingredients
- Kamut® Flour
- Melted Butter
- Eggs
- Baking powder
- Sugar
- Milk
- Vanilla Extract
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
These pancakes can be made in one bowl, no need to separate the wet from dry. Do mix dry ingredients before adding in the wet, however.
Combine Flour, sugar and baking powder in a medium sized bowl
Add in the milk, melted butter and then finally the egg and vanilla.
Ladle into a greased non-stick pan, I like using cast iron. Cook on one side until bubbles appear and then flip and cook until both sides are golden.
Pro Tip: Allow your batter to come to room temperature before you start cooking. This will help the pancakes to rise and give you the fluffy consistency everyone loves!
Substitutions
Although these pancakes are excellent as-is, if you need to make some adjustments due to dietary restrictions these helpful substitutions may help
- Butter - instead of using butter you can sub for a flavorless oil. I like avocado, but canola could work as well.
- Milk - If you are dairy free and you need to sub out the milk (butter substation above) you can sub for unflavored nut milk of your choosing, or simply water.
- Sugar - If you are trying cut out out traditional sugar from your diet you can sub in 1 to 1 coconut sugar.
Variations
These pancakes are very versatile and delicious with added goodies, below are my favorite variations.
- Banana - you can add one sliced banana to the batter for a sweet surprise in ever birth
- Blueberry - add ½ a cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to make these the best blueberry pancakes you have ever had!
- Sourdough - If you are itching to use your sourdough discard in pancakes and believe me you should!! You can add ½ sourdough starter to this pancake recipe for an even more moist and springy pancake!
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. I like to use a large cast iron pan to cook these pancakes
