Chef's Notes

Substitutions
In place of teff, use amaranth, millet, gluten-free oat or sorghum flour.

Sugar-free
Use date paste in place of maple.

Omit the maple syrup completely and use 2 extra tablespoons of applesauce in its place.

Storage
Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or slice and store individually in the freezer for up to 30 days.
