These are amazing! I have never baked with spelt and thought I would try this recipe... I didn't really know what to expect and I was so happy with the results. I used the applesauce and real eggs as well as ground ginger in place of nutmeg and about 1.5 bananas. Also didn't have raisins so I used dried cranberries. The flavour and texture are so good I can't believe there's no oil in this recipe. I will definitely make these again... and probably double the batch!

Moist and flavorful muffins. I used eggs (rather than egg substitute) and applesauce (rather than yogurt). I skipped the optional raisins and nuts, but added 2 heaping tablespoons of chopped crystallized ginger along with about half of a chopped Bosc pear. Instead of topping with additional flax meal, I sprinkled turbinado sugar over the tops. Thanks for posting!

I love these muffins! I used almond milk instead of buttermilk, and sunflower/ pumpkin seeds instead of nuts. I also grated a peeled apple and a large carrot into the mix so that they were more like morning glory muffins. This recipe is great as a base to add all sorts of things... and very good *as is*.

I have to say that they didnt turn out very moist for me. The tops are hard, and they are dense, not fluffy. I used cranberries instead of raisins, and almond milk instead of buttermilk. I left out the eggs, and increased the applesauce. I was really hoping to rate it better. Any advice for me? What can I improve?
