Teff Flour, Chickpea Flour & Almond Flour/Meal
Can usually be purchased at your nearby health food store in the gluten free flour area (or order online). You could make your own almond meal/flour by putting raw almonds in a high speed blender, be careful not to over blend as this will result in almond butter spread.
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350°F for muffins ( or 300°F for bread) and prepare a 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch pan baking pan or muffin tins by greasing with a bit of coconut oil & dusting with chickpea, teff or gluten free flour of your choice (or use paper muffin cups or parchment paper in the baking pan) .
Step 2 Mince the dates in a food processor. Next add the lemon juice, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, almond butter & grated apples and process until just combined.
Step 3 Place all the remaining dry ingredients in a bowl (teff flour, chickpea flour, almond meal, potato starch, sea salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, & ground allspice). Mix well.
Step 4 Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients & mix BRIEFLY to combine.
Step 5 Immediately scoop batter into the greased baking pan or muffin tins. Distribute the batter evenly.
Muffins bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on a cooking rack to cool completely before removing from the tins.
Bread bake for 45-60 minutes or or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on a cooking rack to cool completely before removing from the pan.
