Thanks, Kim.

We love teff too – it’s so versatile. Sort of magical how it really transforms the taste of gluten free bars or brownies. Let me know if you try them – I’d love to know what you think!

Rachel,

It is a little daunting at first, isn’t it? I was very apprehensive to start exploring the world of alternative flours. But, now I use them almost daily in attempt to vary our diet as much as possible (and also to infuse as many nutrients (and fiber) as we can).

I’d love to know what you think when you give them a try.

Looks and sounds delicious. I haven’t baked much w/teff flour although I’ve used a lot of gluten free flour blends. I will add this to my list of recipes to test and blog about. My cooking students are always curious about new recipes and ways to use some of the alternative gluten free flours.

Sincerely,

Melissa,
I’ve never tried cardamom with Teff – but that sounds wonderful. I love the warmth of that spice !
Teff is very versatile. I just ordered some ivory teff and I am going to give making pita bread a shot. Can’t wait.

Wow, these little gems look wonderful, Stephanie. I’m a huge fan of teff and use if in many different ways. This is a great idea and I love the addition of ginger (another one of my favorites)! Cardamom is a good spice to add to teff dishes as well.

Thanks and have a good weekend!

Hi amy
We love teff too – especially the oatmeal (hot cereal) ! I am nursing my daughter and she is quite sensitive to foods so I was forced to go “light” on the spices – but let me know what spice combo you ended up using (for down the road a bit) as this bread will no doubt be a fall/winter/holiday staple in our house for years to come.

I have been using teff quite often and just love it. It’s got such a great flavor and I can imagine that it would make a fabulous gingerbread. We really like our gingerbread (and everything) spicy so I would increase the spice. As a reader, I appreciate the info because it helps avoid the first test run not coming out correctly.
