Gluten-Free Teff Pumpkin Bread Recipe: A Fun Fall Family Activity

As the leaves turn and the air gets cooler, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the flavors of fall. This easy Gluten-Free Teff Pumpkin Bread recipe is not only tasty but also a fun activity to do with your family, especially if you have little ones. My 5-year-old loved helping me make this cozy treat, which is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup teff flour
• 1 cup ground gluten-free oats
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar (you can adjust this for sweetness)
• 1 cup pumpkin purée
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine teff flour, ground gluten-free oats, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until everything is mixed well.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin purée, and olive oil until smooth.
4. Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. My little chef loved helping me mix everything! Stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
5. Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour your batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: After baking, let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice your pumpkin bread. Enjoy it plain, with butter, or even with cream cheese!
