Gluten Free Whole Grain Teff Muffins
These muffins are not just any muffins; they are packed with the goodness of teff, a tiny ancient grain native to Ethiopia. Teff is full of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making these muffins a wholesome option for health-conscious eaters.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup teff flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the teff flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In another bowl, mix the honey (or maple syrup) and melted coconut oil together. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk, then whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. If you’re using berries, fold them in at this stage.
- Evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These gluten-free whole grain teff muffins are a fantastic way to start your day or to enjoy as an afternoon snack. They are delicious on their own, or you can spread a little almond butter or your favorite jam on top for extra flavor. Enjoy every bite!
