Wheat free Carrot Muffins One of my favorite desserts used to be conventional carrot cake.  That was the version full of white flour and sugar!  So when I ran across this recipe in The Great American Detox Diet, I was very excited.  The muffins are made of whole food ingredients, have an outstanding flavor, simple to make and moist!

Note: Spelt does…
