Sweet ‘n Nutty Teff Bread

 

If you’re looking for a moist, dense, gluten-free bread with a little bit of nuttiness and a touch of sweetness, you’ve found it here. Teff is a wonderful, nutrient-rich substitute for traditional flour. Gluten-free oats give this bread some extra texture, while the nuts add a little crunch. What’s more, this bread is really simple to make!

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
In place of teff, use amaranth, millet, gluten-free oat or sorghum flour.

Sugar-free
Use date paste in place of maple.

Omit the maple syrup completely and use 2 extra tablespoons of applesauce in its place.

Storage
Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or slice and store individually in the freezer for up to 30 days.
