Complete guide on how to prepare and serve spelt flour to your baby, by age.
Last reviewed: May 2026
Spelt flour is not served alone but can be used to create soft, cooked foods suitable for babies, such as pancakes, muffins, or porridge. For this age, aim for 1-2 tablespoons (about 7-15g or 0.25-0.5 oz) in a single meal, ideally combined with iron-rich ingredients (such as eggs or lentils) and a source of healthy fat. Offer alongside fruit/vegetable purees for a balanced, varied introduction to grains.

Continue using spelt flour in soft, cooked foods such as muffins, pancakes, or soft bread. Offer in small pieces and consider combining with protein or iron-rich foods and a serving of fruit or vegetables for a balanced meal. Portion size can increase to 2-3 tablespoons (15-22g or 0.5-0.75 oz) per meal.
