I made these for a work meeting and they went over very well. My first time working with spelt flour. They were fluffy, light, moist. I tried one without the glaze and it wasn't as good as with it. I'd make these again.

I subbed in 1/2c quinoa flour for the spelt flour and the rest of the flour used whole wheat pastry flour. I also made half the amount of the maple drizzle and this was still more than enough sweetness. You can definitely taste quinoa flour so if you dont like that taste, stick with the recommended flours. Muffins were very moist and tasty, my 7yr old loved them.
