sonia: Quilted wall-hanging (Default)
[personal profile] sonia
I got this recipe from the Flavor Flours cookbook by Alice Medrich with Maya Klein as recommended by [personal profile] runpunkrun. It was so easy and yummy I made it again a couple days later, although I had to make some substitutions and didn't like it quite as much. (See Variations.) The walnuts get delightfully toasted during baking.

1/2 cup (70g) teff flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3-4 tablespoons (35-50g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1 cup (175g) dates, pitted and cut into quarters
1/2 cup (75g) dried apricots, quartered
1 3/4 cups (175g) walnut pieces
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, my addition)
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

ETA: Lately I've been making it with 3/4 cup teff flour and 3 eggs and measuring generously for the other ingredients, and that holds together better.
