I was blown away at the taste of these ‘made-from-scratch’ kamut buttermilk waffles! They are so crisp and a beautifully brown on the outside while tender and moist in the center. Fresh out of the hot waffle iron with butter and warm maple syrup. Just the way I like them!
For years and years I have been using a popular ‘convenience’ prepared pancake/waffle mix that just required measuring in some water, stirring it up and spooning it into the hot waffle iron. Oh, my goodness, what we sacrifice for convenience!
After making my first batch of these kamut buttermilk waffles I was so impressed that I had to stir up a batch of the package mix to make a side-by-side comparison. What a difference in taste, texture and flavor. The waffles from the packaged mix were tough and chewy and lacking in flavor. The kamut buttermilk waffles were tender, crisp and tasted so much better! Another huge bonus….. our kamut buttermilk waffles are made of good wholesome ingredients, they do not have any added fortifiers, preservatives and un-pronounceable chemicals.
To make these waffles we used stone ground kamut flour, whole grain oat flour and ground flax seed. Fresh eggs and real buttermilk were added along with a bit of coconut oil and a touch of honey. They are crisp, tender and tasty!
Yes, as compared to the ‘add water and stir’ packaged mix, it did take a few minutes longer to put these ‘made-from-scratch’ waffles together, but it is so worth it! I love these waffles and have been reformed. They are addictive and now I need to restrain myself from having waffles for breakfast every morning!

These kamut buttermilk waffles are made with stone ground kamut flour, whole grain oat flour and ground flax seed. Fresh eggs and real buttermilk was added along with a bit of coconut oil and a touch of honey. They are crisp, tender and tasty!
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup (160g) stone ground kamut flour
- 1/3 cup (40g) oat flour
- 1/3 cup (40g) ground flax seed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut, avocado or grapeseed oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Spray waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and preheat while making the waffle batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the kamut flour, oat flour, ground flax seed, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate dish beat the egg yolks, oil, honey, buttermilk and milk. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir with spoon or spatula until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until you have stiff peaks. With a spatula, fold the egg whites into the batter. Allow to sit for five minutes to absorb, thin with addition milk if needed, folding in gently with the spatula.

i had a terrible waffle fail this morning..and ever since i have been craving a good waffle. this looks great and really interesting with kamut flour.
Hi, Dixya….I am pleased that you found our waffle recipe. Enjoy! 🙂
I have used kamut a few times, but not in waffles. I would imagine the taste would be nice and nutty…and the buttermilk would make the waffles nice and fluffy.
Yes, Gloria…you are sooo right! 🙂
Buttermilk waffles are so good! I love the tang of it. And stoneground grains help with a light texture – I love using them. These sound wonderful.
Hi, Anne….Oh, yes! These waffles are wonderful, I try to limit them to only once per week. 🙂
I’ve never heard of Kanut before. This sounds delicious though!

Sara we really love Kamut, if you want to give it a try you might be able to find it in the organic section of your grocery store but if not, online shopping makes life sooo easy. Here is a link for some Kamut flour if you want to go that way.
Oh my goodness! These waffles look amazing! it makes me want to start the day over again and have breakfast a second time! Yum! 🙂
Thank you, J…..Plug in that waffle iron and enjoy these yummy waffles for dinner! 🙂
Oh yeah, we stopped buying ready-make pancake/waffle mixes a long time ago. Making your own is so easy and tastes much nicer! I must say I haven’t tried kamut flour before but this is an excellent opportunity to try 🙂
Hi, Jolina….Thanks for the visit to our site.:) I am betting that you will love these waffles!
I haven’t tried kamut flour yet but you’ve completely sold me. These could actually get me to buy a waffle maker. Beautiful! If you do Instagram and you think about it, I’d love you to use the hashtag #ibrakeforrealfood. I do a daily and weekend feature. Your recipes are a great fit.
thanks Christine, I followed you and will be using your hashtag. I do hope you try these waffles and give Kamut flour a spin.
I love the taste of Kamut . My wife Nicoletta is a fan of using it in her baking and whatever she had made was gone that day. So good on you to sum up the courage to make these they look really good.
Hey, thanks for visiting our site, Loreto…..Yes, there really is a difference in the taste of Kamut and these waffles are really delicious.
