Teff Flour Muffins

My new concoction! Teff flour(GF) banana cashew muffins!
As you can see one is missing because they are SO good! (that's oil dripped in the middle, oops)

Pre heat oven at 350 F before mixing ingredients.

Dry ingredients
1 1/2 cups teff flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped raw cashews

Wet ingredients
1/4 cup grape seed oil
4 medium eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or you can use a apple chunks and grind in a food processor)
1 banana

Mix dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients together and then combine both. Grease muffin tins with grape seed oil or they will stick. Bake at 350F for 15-20mins.

Please note these are sugar free which I like but if they are too bland for you, you may add a drizzle of pure maple syrup, agave nectar or raw honey on the top of the muffins when they are done baking.
