gfdfvidiot asked: Your pumpkin muffins are not wheat-free. Spelt flour is wheat....you might want to use a different flour in your recipe like rice.
Hi gfdvidiot!
I personally don’t so well with wheat, and have many friends who avoid it as well, but we don’t have any issues with spelt.
Spelt is a cousin to wheat and a really great flour to substitute for wheat in baking. Other gluten free flours can give you a gummy result, especially for cooks who are less experienced.
Also, spelt is a whole grain and healthier than some flours used to replace wheat flour. Spelt is also well tolerated by many people who can’t handle gluten.
If someone has celiac or a wheat allergy they should proceed with caution of course!

Different species, same genus. If allergy is the problem, someone allergic to wheat might be ok with spelt. Celiac sufferers, not so much. I’m non-celiac but gluten intolerant, and will not screw around with spelt.
