Gluten Free Baking!
Experimented today with some gluten free baking. The recipes turned out delicious and were extremely quick to make and had a minimal amount of ingredients. I was especially excited about this particular recipe because almond flour and coconut oil are sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega 3’s are great sources for improving concentration and help with learning, and also helps with maintaining beautiful skin and happy moods. Almond flour is also a great source of protein and the bananas in the recipe are a great source of potassium. This recipe is fast, easy, delicious, nutritious and gluten-free; perfect for snacks and breakfast on the run.
Gluten Free Banana Bread/Muffins
Ingredients:
1 cup teff flour
1 cup of ground almonds
2 tsp baking powder (make sure gluten free)
1 tsp cinnamon
½ cup of maple syrup
pinch of salt
4 bananas
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup of coconut oil
optional: add ¼ cup of chocolate chips
Directions
-Preheat oven to 340f/170c
-Grease a bread pan and sprinkle some almond meal on it, or just line it with baking paper, this will make it easier to take the bread out of the pan
-Mix the wet ingredients together and mix the dry ingredients together
-Combine these two without over mixing them
-Bake for approximately 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean
-The bread is edible right away, but it will be firmer after cooling
Hey Dawn--these look awesome! Can't wait to try them on my gluten-free kids. Happy Independence Day! Stephanie
