These Banana Spelt Muffins are delicious and very nutritious! They are nice and moist thanks to the bananas, milk, and yogurt, and healthy fat is added in the form of ground flaxseed instead of butter or oil. The spelt flour makes them nice and doughy, too, as well as higher in fiber. I’ve also decreased the amount of sugar normally found in muffins, but I promise they still taste good!
Banana Spelt Muffins
These Banana Spelt Muffins are delicious and very nutritious! They are nice and moist, and filled with healthy fat and fiber. I’ve also decreased the amount of sugar normally found in muffins, but I promise they still taste good!

- Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring until mixed.
