Teff is such a nutty and deliciously healthy flour that it lends itself beautifully to uber-nutritious Teff almond butter cookies. Remember Teff is full of iron and it’s also very good source of dietary fiber, protein, amino acids, Vitamn C and Calcium. It’s naturally gluten-free. I get my Teff Flour from Bob’s Red Mill.
To make these Teff Almond Butter Cookies a little more kid-friendly, I added some chocolate chips.
