Carrot Gingerbread Muffins

Carrot Gingerbread Muffins are super moist and delicious. They are made with spelt flour, sweetened with blackstrap molasses and laced with walnuts and ginger. The carrots keep the muffins super moist and they are an excellent way to use up carrot pulp leftover from juicing.
