Spelt is a grain that is similar to wheat, that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is said to be much more nutritious than more modern grains and is a good alternative to normal wheat flour because it can be used to bake in the same way as wheat flour is. It is also known as hulled wheat or dinkel wheat. We have prepared a nutritious recipe for carrot muffins using spelt flour. This recipe usually uses grape sugar but if you cannot find that then you could use something like coconut sugar or maple sugar.
These muffins are really great to keep in a container for a quick breakfast, afternoon snack, sweet treat or lunch box snack.
