Teff Sourdough Banana Bread
This gluten-free banana bread recipe is loaded with gut-friendly resistant starches from teff flour and sourdough starter. It's the best healthy treat to munch on while working from home and goes perfectly with a cup of coffee as a mid-morning snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic teff flour (this can be hard to find in stores so we buy ours from amazon)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
- 1/4 cup teff sourdough starter (optional, but highly recommended)
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup almond milk (add additional 2 tbs if omitting sourdough starter)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Meanwhile, mash the bananas in a large bowl along with the vanilla (I use this fancy vanilla bean paste and it definitely makes a difference with the end results, highly recommend.), sour dough starter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and almond milk. Add the ground flax, teff flour, baking soda and salt to a separate bowl and mix. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until well mixed then stir in the chocolate chips. Place the dough into a well-oiled loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes. Serve warm topped with a little extra coconut oil and maple syrup.
tip: bake 22 minutes for muffins, or 30 minutes in mini cocottes
