Notes
- Freezing instructions: Allow muffins to cool down to room temperature. Freeze muffins for an hour or until solid. Transfer the frozen muffins to a freezer-safe bag, remove excess air and store for up to two months. To reheat, remove the muffin from the freezer and heat in the microwave or oven until warm.

Any substitutes for spelt flour?
A whole wheat flour would work as well. Enjoy!
Substitute for almond flour?
You can increase the spelt flour to 1 3/4 cups and omit the almond flour entirely.
