Blueberry Teff Muffins

 So I have had my first gluten free prescription this month. I haven’t had one previously because I ordered some free samples and it took me a while to get through it all! This time I decided to order some red teff flour…something I haven’t tried before. 
 

Now, I would love to tell you all about the health benefits of teff flour but unfortunately there is very little information about it online! What I can tell you is that it is an ancient grain, mostly used in Ethiopia. It is higher in protein than wheat and has a high concentration of calcium and iron. Teff is also incredibly high in fiber and low GI so perfect for those with diabetes. 

I have tried numerous recipes of gluten free muffins, these are by far the best. The teff flour seems to have a slight taste of nutmeg and cinnamon, which works really nicely in a muffin.

These are easy to make, quick, simple and so tasty so give them a go!
