Give your favorite recipes a healthy boost by including our newly launched Gary’s True Grit Einkorn Flour in place of your regular flour. Einkorn Flour can be substituted in a 1:1 ratio with all-purpose or whole-wheat flours, but it is much easier to digest, allowing for better absorption of nutrients. Try out our best-ever banana bread recipe for a snack that’s both highly nutritious and super delicious!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup organic evaporated cane juice crystals
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups Einkorn Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and cane juice crystals.
- Add the eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Einkorn Flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir into the butter mixture until smooth.
- Fold in the sour cream and bananas (and walnuts, if using). Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy!

Will you be selling the whole wheat berries, so we can mill the flour ourselves for maximum nutrient content?
It's not on the docket for the moment, but it's not a bad idea at all! :)
I recently experimented and made Einkorn dumplings and biscuits. Both came out great. I posted the recipes on my blog if you are interested: younglivingwithsusie.com. I hope to post apple dumplings and zucchini bread sometime later this week. Lovin' the Einkorn flour!
Just received my first order of einkorn flour. Do you have a recipe for biscuits?
Hi Sandy, we don't at the moment, but we love the idea!
I am also interested to know if I can use the Einkorn flour in my electric bread maker. I understand it behaves differently than regular flour but I would like specific instructions instead of wasting a batch.
Hi Cheryl! We have not tested Einkorn Flour in a bread machine at this time. We would suggest contacting the manufacture of the machine prior to use as special considerations may need to be made.
Einkorn is a wonderful pure form of wheat. I am gluten sensitive and I follow the blood type diet which has helped with IBS. I use it for recipes calling for wheat. My system doesn't seem to have a problem with einkorn in moderation . If you have celiac disease I don't recommend it because it may cause inflammation in your system because you have a true allergy to gluten. Gary young has einkorn and so does a company called jovial. Both are great.
Can you use Einkorn wheat in a bread machine to make a loaf of bread? Or is it only good for quick breads? And if the answer is yes regarding a bread machine, would it measure differently than store-bought bread flour?

I have VERY DRY HAIR, what do you recommend for my hair and scalp.
Hi Darlene, I love the essential oils that young living suggested. I use those exact same oils and add them to my Copaiba Vanilla Moisturising Shampoo. I get a brain boost at the same time :) Copaiba Vanilla Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner are rich hydrating formulations for dry or damaged hair. You could also add the essential oils to a spritzer bottle and spray onto your hair. It's a great way to use for detangling as well as hydrating your hair too!
Hi Darlene, thanks for stopping by! Essential oils like Cedarwood, Rosemary, and Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood are great for hydrating dry hair!
is this gluten free?
Dry hair can be caused by many things. Overprocessing, imbalance in hormones and pour nutrition to name a few. Try YL lavender shampoo. Get an evaluation by a good nutritionist and if you are menopausal or just delivered a baby, your doctor can check your hormone levels and your thyroid function. Try YL multivitamins for women , they are excellent.
Hi Donna, Einkorn Flour is not gluten free.
No - Einkorn is wheat. However, it's wheat that has not been genetically modified in any way. Basically, it's the same type of wheat that Jesus ate.
Yes. I cannot wait to try this.
