These pancakes are fluffy and the spelt gives hints of sweetness to each bite.
By Julie McAleenan
Pancakes are of my husband and mine’s favorite breakfast meals. Slathered with maple syrup and served with bacon and a bloody mary on the side, Sunday morning never looked better. 
I’d yet to cook with spelt flour, but attempting to stay away from gluten and high gluten flours, I thought we’d give it a try. These pancakes are fluffy and the spelt gives hints of sweetness to each bite. Even my picky nephew will have a few bites! Rather than using maple syrup, we doused the pancakes in rhubarb strawberry preserves!

Looks great. I made spelt & wholemeal pancakes last weekend, with bacon crumbled in and drizzled with maple-flavoured agave syrup. Sooooo good and kept us full until dinner.
Just tried these and they are delicious. We are also dairy free so swapped coconut cream for the yogurt and almond milk for the cow’s mill and omitted the olive oil. I also reduced the salt to a quarter of a teaspoon. It worked really well, thank you for the recipe.
