It definitely is gluten free but only if you buy it from a reputable source (otherwise there is most def cross-contamination). There are 2 kinds of teff: dark and ivory. You can purchase it in grain form or flour form. And it's absolutely wonderful. I use it in all sorts of baking - and I feel good about it because it has a pretty good nutritional profile. It's great in pancakes, muffins, tea breads, etc. There's an entry on Wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teff" rel="nofollow">here</a>. you can also go to www.teffco.com to read more about how teff grows in Idaho. It's very interesting. All the best Stephanie Hello Alice

Glad it worked out even with the extra flour :) Freezing them is a great idea. Hadn't done that but I will from now on. I need all the time-saving help I can get. Rebecca,

Accidentally added 1 1/2 c. sorghum flour....and so added another 1/4 c. applesauce and they still taste great! This was our first time baking them (my oldest son and I).....so will have to try again w/the exact recipe. Thanks for sharing. We also bake ahead...and freeze some for easy snacks and breakfasts.

You are right - it's also very important to strike a balance between carb and protein as well. I find that I notice right away when I don't eat the right combination. I have such a hard time making it through to lunchtime....and I get a bit grumpy :( Cecelia,

Especially teff pancakes. I had to fiddle with this muffin recipe quite a bit to achieve the texture I wanted. In the end, I was amazed at how moist they were. And I think applesauce is the secret ingredient! Especially on day 2 or 3 - they weren't crumbling apart like most GF baked goods. Let me know if you give 'em a try - I'd love to know what you think (baking w/ teff, etc). Have a great weekend :) Hi Chaya,

There are 2 kinds: ivory and dark. Imho, there is no taste difference. This morning, I added some sorghum grain into the pot and it was fabulous. Added a slight nutty crunch. They sell teff grains at any natural food store. But, I got my sorghum at Barryfarm.com We are on a pretty strict rotation diet so it helps to have rice alternatives in the pantry. Plus, they are such great sources of protein, vitamins and minerals. Thanks Erin,
