Moringa pancakes are a delightful way to start your morning!
This green powder is potently-packed with vitamins and nutrients. Check out my other pancake recipes here.
For this moringa pancake recipe, I opted to use einkorn flour. However, any kind of wheat-based flour will work for making these pancakes.
Moringa
Moringa powder is made from the leaves of the moringa tree. This powder has many vitamins and nutrients. This leaf is anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial, and is high in Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and quercetin.¹ You can read more about the benefits of moringa powder here.
Einkorn
Einkorn flour is an ancient grain notable for being easier for people to digest. This grain is fantastic, I understand why people are willing to pay a little extra for this flour.
For my family members that our gluten sensitive, we’ve noticed that using grains such as einkorn don’t seem to have the same digestion problems compared to consuming traditional modern flours. For this reason, we mainly bake with low-gluten ancient grains such as einkorn, spelt, and even rye.
