Teff & Oat Bread

Summer is the time for adventures and Power Hungry has an awesome oat bread recipe that will have you fuelled up and ready for anything. It’s gluten-free too!

We also love making stuff that allows for multiple helpings. This recipe is so good though, it will likely only last for a single day!

Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups of water
• 1 cup of nondairy milk
• 1 teaspoon of vinegar
• 1 ½ cups of (gluten free) rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons of psyllium powder
• ¼ cup of flaxseed meal
• 3 tablespoons of molasses
• 1 cup of teff flour
• 2 tablespoons of baking soda
• 1 ¼ teaspoons of fine sea salt
• ¼ cup of oil

Directions

1. Combine water, milk, vinegar, oats, psyllium, flaxseed meal, and molasses. Stir and let stand for 15 minutes
2. Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit and grease 4 small loaf pans
3. In another small bowl, whisk teff flour, baking soda, and salt
4. Combine both mixtures together with oil and stir vigorously
5. Divide thick batter equally into each pan and smooth tops
6. Bake for 40 to 44 minutes. Loaf tops will be very puffy and will deflate to pan top when removed from the oven
7. Let cool completely.
8. Enjoy!
