Einkorn Courgette Waffles

Einkorn Courgette Waffles – A Savoury, Nutritious Twist

Looking to give your brunch game a unique, plant-based twist? These Einkorn Courgette Waffles are a savoury delight, combining the subtle sweetness of courgettes with the nutty depth of einkorn flour.

Infused with fragrant basil, these waffles offer a wholesome and flavourful alternative to traditional sweet varieties.

Perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner, they pair beautifully with fresh chopped tomatoes or your favourite plant-based toppings. Plus, by incorporating einkorn flour, an ancient grain known for its digestibility, you’re adding a nutritious boost to your meal. Whether you’re a seasoned vegan or simply exploring plant-based cooking, this recipe is sure to become a favourite in your kitchen.​

You can serve these courgette waffles with some chopped tomatoes. Like my savoury waffle recipe, they make the perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner.

What is einkorn?

Einkorn wheat is one of the oldest ancient grains. Having been left relatively untouched by modern agriculture, einkorn has also a different gluten composition and has been found to be more digestible than modern wheat flour.

It is a good alternative if you have a gluten sensitivity however, it is not suitable for coeliacs as it is not completely gluten-free. You can buy einkorn flour from health stores and some supermarkets.
