Why Use Spelt Flour in Muffins?

Spelt flour is made from an ancient species of wheat that adds a nutty, slightly acidic flavor to muffins. It’s a delicious, nutrient-rich, whole grain flour that works well in muffins and other baked goods. Spelt flour is packed with fiber, iron, niacin, magnesium, phosphorous, and zinc.

You can find spelt flour at many grocery stores these days or purchase it online. It usually works well as a 1:1 substitute for whole wheat or all purpose flour and will add a slightly tangy, earthy flavor.

Other Ingredients in This Recipe

I used extra virgin olive oil in these muffins but you can substitute melted coconut oil or any other type of oil you prefer.

I like to use unsweetened almond milk in these muffins but any type of unsweetened milk you prefer will work.

I sweetened these spelt flour muffins with maple syrup. You can substitute other liquid sweeteners such as agave.

How to Make Spelt Flour Muffins

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the spelt flour, baking powder, and salt to a mixing bowl, then mix well. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla, then whisk to combine.

    For health reasons I’ve had to change the way I eat, and this recipe has become my absolute favourite. I add chopped apples, walnuts, cinnamon and a pinch of all spice or cloves. So delicious!
