In a muffin there is little concern about the gluten content, so I would sub wheat flour -- whole or white, depending on whether the spelt called for was whole or white. Just follow the usual precaution not to beat the batter -- fold gently, since with any flour containing gluten you do not want to develop that gluten to avoid tough muffins with tunnels....

How about Kamute? I'm not sure about the exact gluten content, but it acts a lot like spelt when baked.

Looking it up - some folks suggest another low gluten or gluten free flour - spelt has less than wheat but is not gluten free. What all is available?
