  Chocolate Zucchini Teff (Gluten-Free) Bread-Cake

  I made this last night. It’s very tasty and you’d never guess it was gluten free. I roughly halved the ingredients listed for this Gluten Free Zucchini Bread, with some inspiration from my slightly less successful (but still decent) pumpkin bread attempt. More specifically, it went something like:

  • Shred about two large zucchini, squeeze extra liquid out.
  • Liquid ingredients: Combine and beat thoroughly.
    • 2 Eggs
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 1/2 cup agave nectar
    • Splash of vanilla
    • One apple-peach generic mish-mash (about 3.2 oz) (aka applesauce).
  • Dry ingredients: Combine in separate bowl, whisk through.
    • 1 cup+ brown rice flour.
    • 1/2 cup teff flour.
    • A little bit of cocoa powder; I used some gluten free brownie mix (which had sugar and stuff) b/c I didn’t have any coca powder lying around).
    • 1/2 tsp cinammon
    • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
    • something like 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp xanthum gum
    • 1 tsp sea salt
  • Incrementally mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
  • Add zucchini into batter.
  • Add a pour-ful of chocolate chips.
  • Pour into a 9x5, greased/floured bake pan (I used veggie oil and buckwheat flour).
  • Bake at 350, about one hour.

  I so much prefer photographing kids in their favorite ratty dresses and superman capes, while their parents sip coffee in T-shirts and bare feet and the dog meanders through the living room and in front of the lens. And the baby crawls around diaperless like a naked time bomb.

  Beginning with cleaning the mouth and morning beverage. Please find time, preferably after neti and before starting your day, to integrate 20 minutes of personal yoga practice. I taught the group Sun Salutations, but you may choose to do something else. It needn’t be a workout, simply a time to conect with your body. Follow or begin with 5-10 minutes of Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril). I also recommend a minimum of 5 minutes of meditation later in the day.

  […] the idea that Windows 7’s quality will spur upgrades from XP is predicated on the fact that the people holding out on XP make their computing choices based on quality. But if that’s the case, why exactly are they still running Windows XP? Why are they still using Internet Explorer?
