Why bake with Kamut flour?
Kamut it an ancient grain originating from Egypt, also known as khorasan wheat. Because it has not been genetically altered, it is easier to digest then the regular whole wheat flour that we have today.
You can purchase Kamut through this source here where I have been purchasing for years!
Kamut is also higher in protein and contains necessary fibre and nutrients.
It has easily become a favorite grain in our home, not just from the health benefits but because it has a wonderful slightly nutty texture and buttery taste.
We use a grain mill to grind our own grain. It is very satisfying to have fresh flour and know that it has undergone very little commercial processing.

Ingredients for Kamut Apple German Pancake
- Kamut flour – Kamut is known for being an organic grain in its original form without being genetically processed or modified.
- Apples-any variety is fine but tart apples are known for being preferred for baking.
- Cinnamon – key flavor here!
- Whole milk or other milk of choice – I have tried this recipe with part regular milk and part non-dairy milk and it works fine!
- Maple syrup – Adds great flavor and sweetness without the harmful white sugar side effects
- Eggs – The main component of the Dutch Baby
- Vanilla extract or flavoring
- Sea salt
Note on flours– you can replace the kamut flour with whole wheat flour or regular white all purpose flour. If using white flour then increase the amount with an extra 2 tablespoons.
Other flour options of interest:
- almond flour
- brown rice flour
- spelt flour
- einkorn flour
While there are many flour option available for this healthy recipe, my personal preference is Kamut flour. It not only has phenomenal taste but the health benefits are amazing and supersede many other flours and grains.
What kind of apples to use?
Any Tart apple variety is recommended since it produces the best final product plus they are renowned for uses in baking, but you can very well use whatever apples you have on hand, including red delicious or Granny Smith!
Tips for making the perfect puff pancake:
- Super hot oven
- Hot melted butter in the skillet
Can this oven pancake recipe be made in a glass pan?
Cast iron pan is preferred and makes for a more crinkled, browned butter edges crust, but glass pans work well also!
