You’ve most likely heard of the movement of Meatless Monday? Well, there was also another movement called Wheatless Wednesday! It was created at the same time as Meatless Mondays, during WWI to encourage Americans to eat less meat and less wheat, to save for the army. Although we might not be living in war conditions now, I do think it’s a good idea to add variety to what we eat, and reduce meat and wheat. There are so many different grains and flours available out there, you too can open up this whole new world of possibilities in your baking. Don’t be afraid, most flours are easily switched without difficulty in small batches. Here’s a delicious recipe for Oat, apple and almond butter muffins, made with spelt and chickpea flours.<\/p>\n

Wheat-Free Wednesdays<\/h2>\n

You’ll notice that most of my recipes use different flours than wheat, and almost never any all-purpose. My wheat-free recipes are not to criticize wheat or sing praises to the gluten-free trend (you can read more on this in my article called The Biggest Gluten-Free Myth<\/a>), the goal is simply to encourage everyone to try, and experiment with other grains and flours, to venture outside the realm of durum<\/em> wheat (the stuff used in everything<\/em>, from all-purpose and whole-wheat flour to pasta, to bread, and everything in-between, even in sausages and toothpaste), even if you don’t have a wheat-sensitivity. I mean, you might like bananas, but would you want to eat bananas in everything? So why do it with wheat? Think of all the delicious possibilities that are available to you! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here are some options other than durum<\/em> wheat (not all are grains, but that’s ok too, they make delicious flours): Spelt, rye, Kamut, buckwheat, brown rice, coconut, quinoa, chickpea, sesame, lentil, tapioca, corn, etc… etc…<\/p>\n

So, to start, some delicious healthy wheat-free muffins! For more wheat-free healthy muffin inspiration, check out my Multigrain Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins<\/a>, or these dairy-free Cranberry, Orange and Chocolate Chip Muffins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
