Ingredients

• 200 grams Teff flour
• 80 grams Gluten-free oat flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 6 tablespoons Water
• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 100 milliliters Maple syrup
• 60 milliliters Coconut oil (melted)
• 80 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk (or any non-soy plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a standard loaf pan by lightly greasing it with coconut oil or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed and water together. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow it to form a gel-like consistency (flax egg).

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 4

Add the flax egg, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the teff flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this point.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Serve your gluten-free teff banana bread as a snack, breakfast, or dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
