Hi y’all! I’m so excited to be here on Retro Housewife Goes Green. I have a great Einkorn flour recipe that I can’t wait to share with you.

Do you ever have a recipe that you love, but you know you have to pace yourself or you’ll end up making it way too often? Like this homemade cracker recipe from the Retro Housewife herself. 

A few weeks ago I made a no-eggs, no-dairy chocolate cake for my husband’s birthday that was an immediate hit! Seriously, we had to make a pact to not have it again for at least a week or two.

Flash forward two weeks later. The cake is gone, and our pact is intact, but we were both hit with a serious craving! But it was 7:30 am… chocolate cake isn’t the best thing for breakfast, so I hear. So I tweaked the recipe a bit and made these delicious einkorn mini chocolate donuts. In all honesty, this recipe is made with real ingredients and makes a great mid-week treat!

I used this mini donut maker, but you can make them in the oven if you have a mini donut pan. My husband was thrilled with just a few of these for breakfast, so we ended up having enough left over to have them for dessert a few times as well!

If you want to skip the mini donut maker and have yeast donuts, try this einkorn yeast donuts recipe. 

Also if you’re not used to using einkorn, this recipe will work just fine with regular (modern) wheat. To make it dairy-free simply use a butter alternative.
