Einkorn pancakes are my favorite. There’s no better flour for pancakes, in my honest opinion. They cost more than other flours, but are oh so worth it.
If you’re not vegan or don’t want to use applesauce, you can substitute with two eggs instead for this recipe.
Some of the family members that tried these pancakes asked if I put bananas in them. They didn’t taste like banana pancakes to me, but you’ve been warned.
When mixing the batter, be sure to leave some lumps in the batter. It helps with the texture of the pancake.
