Spelt flour and brown sugar alternative?

Question

I really love baking but have recently become more aware of what I am making. What is spelt flour like with baking? How does it taste?
Is there a baking alternative to brown sugar? I use evaporated cane juice crystals instead of sugar and it works great.

Answer 2

I use in a 1/1/1 ratio of spelt, brown rice, and barley a lot! This works well in a lot of baked goods, behaves similar to "all purpose" flour with more nutrition. So cookies, cakes, muffins, pie crust. For bread I like straight up white whole wheat, this produces a loaf fairly similar to a traditional loaf where things like spelt and brown rice and chick peas don't have the gluten to support the airy puffed up loaf. I haven't used the others you mentioned yet but have a couple of recipes in my "to make" pile that use them. They are often combined with other things to get the desired effect.

Answer 3

Turbinado sugar works too. Have you considered garbanzo flour?
