Top 10 Freekeh Recipes + A Giveaway!
~ With more protein and fiber than quinoa, freekeh is the hottest new superfood grain! We searched the Internet for 10 outstanding freekeh recipes. Perfect inspiration for trying this fantastic ingredient – from cookies and scones to pilafs, salads and breakfast bowls! Easy, healthy and delicious! ~
Freaking out over freekeh? (Ughhhh … sorry … just had to go there!)
Really, though – you’re definitely not alone!
Ever since we published our very first freekeh recipe for Kale Chopped Salad with Berries and Freekeh, and then our informational post all about what freekeh is and how to cook it … well, the comments and interest have been just fantastic!
Although freekeh is a pretty common ingredient for our readers in places like Australia, it’s still relatively new on the superfoods scene here in America, and we’ve had so many people tell us that they’re scouring their local stores, excited to give it a try!
As always … we’re here to help!
For all of you freekeh freaks, we’ve got just the thing: an awesome round-up of 10 amazing freekeh recipes, plus a giveaway of an entire case of Freekehlicious freekeh!
No kidding!
All the inspiration you need … plus plenty of freekeh to get you started! It’s a great day in freekeh land, no doubt!
Just like with all our other THK Top 10 lists, we spent hours searching for recipes that were the best of the best … the ones that screamed, “You’ve just gotta try ME!” yet were also full of healthier ingredients and weren’t too difficult or time-consuming.
These 10 are the ones we absolutely can’t wait to make next … and after just a quick peek, you’ll be right there with us!
So let’s dive into the recipes, and then we’ll tell you how you can win oodles of Freekehlicious freekeh to whip up all these gorgeous dishes!

This is such a great roundup of freekeh recipes! Thanks for sharing!
Awww thanks, Caroline! And thanks for creating that gorgeous Butternut and Cranberry Freekeh Salad … so we had something so wonderful to share!!! 😀 We’ve had our eye on that recipe ever since you first posted it and are just thrilled to have a chance to help others find it, too! Yum!!! 😀 ~G&S
Thanks for the giveaway! Although, I almost feel like I’m cheating because I already follow you in all those places! I hope I win; I’d just love to try freekeh (especially for free!!!!) Free Freekeh (don’t try to say that 5 times fast!).
Ha, Debi! Five times fast … I seriously just tried it (and my kids think I’m only a tiny bit crazy! 😀 ). And nope … not cheating!!!! As much as we’d be just thrilled for a new friend to find their way to us and win the giveaway, we’re also excited that this is a little something fun to offer to all of our loyal readers who already follow us … and we’d be every bit as happy if a dear “old” friend won! So, hey … GOOD LUCK!!!! 😀 ~Shelley
Excited to try freekeh–I thought I was up to date on the wide range of grains and haven’t come across this one! Thank you:)
Hi, Lisa! Freekeh is kind of the sneaky new darling on the whole grains scene! It’s so popular abroad, but just now getting hot here in the States. It’s really a great option to shake up your regular rotation of grains – so excited for you to try it! 😀 ~G&S
I need to try Freekah! I love discovering new whole grains, and I can’t believe I haven’t picked some up yet myself. All 10 of these recipes are lovely!
Oh yes, Erin! You’ll love it! It’s so jam-crammed with protein and fiber and great nutrition, and it’s so yummy … nutty and chewy and really satisfying! And hey – here are plenty of great recipes to jump-start your creative juices once you track down some freekeh (or maybe WIN some!!!! 😀 )! Yay! 😀 ~G&S
How can O save the recipes when it comes up something about cookbook and you have to create an account? I have seen this before.
Ops!! How can I save the recipes???
Hi, Charlotte! We’re so sorry you’re having trouble, but we’re a bit confused about the “cookbook” and which recipes you’re trying to save with an account. It you’re trying to save all the recipes in this Top 10 post, you can either pin this post on Pinterest for later … or (to get each, individual, full recipe), you will need to click through to each blogger’s site to view the specific recipes in their entirety (this is because they each belong to other bloggers and exist on the owners’ sites). Alternately, if you’re trying to save some of our other THK recipes from other posts where there is a THK recipe card detailing one of our own recipes, you can sign up to create a ZipList recipe box (which is super easy and will let you compile recipes from lots of other big-name sites across the Internet), and we’re happy to walk you through that if it’s what is giving you trouble. We hope some of this helps, but if not, please feel free to shoot us an e-mail with more details at info@twohealthykitchens.com so we wan work through everything with you. Thanks so much for always being such a dedicated reader! 😀 ~G&S
I was trying to save the scones recipe. There is a save button to click on, but when I do something pops up and says choose a cookbook I think is what it says. I have had that to happen in some other blogs but wasn’t sure what to do. I do have Ziplist.
Thanks!!!
Oh, ok … got it! So you’re trying to save Shashi’s scones recipe (they do look sooooo awesome, don’t they!?!?) from her site over at Runnin Srilankan. Gretchen and I both just did some poking around on her site and saw that Shashi appears to be using a program called Yumprint (rather than ZipList) to allow readers to save her recipes. We’re not familiar with Yumprint, but it appears that you can sign up for an account with Yumprint in much the same way that you would have back when you joined ZipList. It appears to give you an option to then explore your friends’ cookbooks, but we honestly have no idea what that means. So, so, so sorry we can’t be of further help, but Shashi probably could help a lot more if you’d like to reach out to her. Hey – and really, thanks again so much for reading along and for taking the time to comment and ask questions! Hope you have an awesome evening! 😀 ~Shelley
