Actually it’s not wheat – only wheat is wheat. Spelt is a GRAIN, and so is wheat. But spelt is not wheat. Brown rice is a grain, so is kamut, so is barley, rye and triticale. Read this for more information:

- well you can’t really, that sorta defeats the purpose of using whole grains, not pre-processed flour. You won’t get the same fluffy pancakes unless you go buy some whole spelt. Try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results.
- you could try it – but might be bitter. I think the baking soda needs something to react with. The recipe called for white sugar – I substituted agave for it. You could also try apple sauce, or Stevia (which is unlike any sweetener cause it’s actually good for you if you get a good brand) So they may not “fluff” without it -but try it and report back to us.
I just realized I had put “baking powder” twice too – the second amount should be “baking soda” – man I must have been sleeping at the switch when I did that post.
- Oops! should be “almond” milk, LOL. Can’t believe we both missed it and you’re the first one to notice. I’ll fix it.

Oh you can see where we stopped in Texas on our 17,000 mile 5.5 month trip through the US and Canada here: http://www.youngsnowbirds.com/places-visited/ - Engaged!
Jon, most people agree that Austin isn’t really Texas. It isn’t at all like the rest of the state and I can attest to that, having been to Austin and around it a bit. Not many people in Austin speak “Texan” with little or no accent. Hit southern Texas around Corpus Christi and regions around it and you’re in real cattle country, full on Texas towns.Anyway, congrats, she’s gorgeous!

for the record: these are kick ass pancakes. Easily the best pancake I’ve ever eaten
These pancakes look really great and it’s wonderful that they are wheat free- I may have missed something, but what is “album milk” exactly? I just stumbled across this site looking for a bean cake recipe and I am literally printing out every recipe you all have here- keep up the great work!

Whew! I was a bit worried it was some obscure ingredient I would never be able to find- LOL- thanks!
Idara, glad you like the recipes enough to print them all! wow.
I’ll be compiling them all into a recipe eBook shortly, then made available to subscribers of my Natural Health and Weight Loss Newsletter I put out each month on FormerFatGuy.com
Um, not quite all!
While on the topic how would these pancakes cook up without the agave (or sweetner of any kind)- trying to cut down on sugars…

Hi Rob and Darlene,
This looks like an awesome recipe.
Thanks for pointing me to it from Twitter.
I’ll definitely bookmark it.

Hi! Thanks for the recipe. Any idea how I would make this from spelt flour instead of grain? Thanks!
well you can’t really, that sorta defeats the purpose of using whole grains, not pre-processed flour. You won’t get the same fluffy pancakes unless you go buy some whole spelt. Try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results.
Just as an FYI…
I was looking for wheat free recipes because we have a visitor who has celiac. Spelt is a form of wheat… just so you know. I’m sure the recipe is yummy and will be keeping it in my file anyway.

Great pancakes!! I used millet, whole grain spelt flour and flax seeds and it turned out wonderfully. This is a perfect recipe for my husband who has heart disease and the rest of my family that has problems with wheat and dairy.
