We are ready for fall and everything pumpkin spice, right? Not so fast, it’s still 97 degrees here! Sad, right? But the light outside has begun to change. The days are a little shorter and the shadows are a little different. I’m ready! Fall and Winter are my favorite times of year. While I wait for that first Northern cold front to come these sprouted einkorn pumpkin scones glazed with real maple syrup are going to fill my yearning for fall.

About Einkorn
I started using Einkorn flour a few years ago. It has superior health benefits. Einkorn is an ancient grain so it is more genetically pure than modern wheat. The protein content is high while having a low gluten content. The taste of the Einkorn is slightly nutty.
In this recipe I use a sprouted Einkorn. The sprouting process releases the nutrients of the wheat berry allowing it to be digested easier, causing less digestive reactions. I buy the Einkorn berries by the 25lb bag from Azure and keep my sprouted, dried, and ground flour in the refrigerator. If you are interested in sprouting your own wheat berries I give step by step instructions on Sprouting Einkorn.
