Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Teff flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.25 cups Honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the teff flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

Step 5

If using optional mix-ins like walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These muffins also freeze well for longer storage.
