Ingredients

    1 cup teff flour
    3 tbsp cocoa powder
    1 tbsp cinnamon
    1/4 cup unsweetened (vanilla*) almond milk
    3 tbsp nut butter of choice (I used Justin's organic honey peanut butter)


Tips

Note: ***For those with celiac and not just a gluten intolerance, use plain almond milk since vanilla extract has trace amounts of gluten in the vodka used to make it!


Directions

Mix together dry ingredients:
1 cup teff flour
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp cinnamon

In the microwave, heat up until nut butter is melted:
1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (for those with celiac and not just a gluten intolerance, use plain almond milk since vanilla extract has trace amounts of gluten in the vodka used to make it!)
3 tbsp nut butter of choice (I used Justin's organic honey peanut butter)

Add the warm nut butter/almond milk mix to the dry ingredients and knead.

Roll into balls and flatten into cupcake tins- will make about 23-25 cupcake sized pie crusts!

Bake at 350 F for about 7 minutes

I may experiment with this in the future to see if I can make it a bit fluffier (suggestions welcome! was thinking of adding an egg or greek yogurt, even though will make it no longer vegan).

Serving Size: 23-25 cupcake sized pie crusts
