Sesame Banana Teff Muffins

Sesame Banana Teff Muffins
These are made with wholegrain teff flour, from my friends over at Lovegrass. It’s full of plant-nutrition, and make these gluten-free (for those of you who need a GF diet). Instead of my classic fave peanut butter, I’ve used tahini, a sesame seed paste. Look for it in the middle eastern section of your grocery store. Get a big tub, I use a LOT of it in my recipes.
These are DENSE – mostly in part from the 100% teff flour. These aren’t your regular fluffy cakey muffins. Instead, they’ll keep you full for hours. I like mine toasted with a touch of melted butter. They are lightly sweetened, and full of sesame seeds for added crunch. Take these on a hike or long day out for a quick boost of energy!
