Isn’t about time to take a break from all the holiday bustle? I think you should enjoy a piece of gluten-free vegan teff gingerbread, sit in your favorite chair, with a hot tea and watch it snow or just enjoy the fireplace. Happy holidays to you!
How Are Your Holidays?
The past few months have been whooshing by for me. But for now I’m planning on curling up with a plate of this spicy and moist cake. But don’t worry, I’ll only stay cocooned for a little while with a comforting hot drink in one hand.

What About Gingerbread Cookies?
I’m not a huge fan of gingerbread cookies because they are usually a little dry for me. But I love a pan of moist and spicy gingerbread cake. The flavors scream winter.
It’s so easy to make that you can take it to all the parties you get invited to, plus this recipe is gluten-free.
Can I Make Individual Servings of Gingerbread?
You can also try making these in muffin pans. They would be easy to serve to a classroom of kids or as a snack at your holiday cocktail party.

Gluten-free and Vegan Teff Gingerbread
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup Maskal Brown Teff Flour
- 1 cup gluten-free baking mix I used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
- 1/2 cup avocado oil or other mild flavored oil *or use mashed pumpkin or sweet potato to make oil-free
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds mixed with 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a square pan and/or line with parchment paper. I like to use one that has a tart pan bottom so it’s easy to get it out.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Then mix the wet ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
- Add the dry to the wet and mix well.
- Carefully scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even out the top.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when stuck into the center.
- Note: You could fancy this up by serving with some chopped candied ginger or sprinkling some powdered sugar on top.

That looks just perfect! I love a moist gingerbread with a tender crumb and you seem to have cracked the code for a vegan/g-f version.
Deb says
This looks delish! What can I sub the teff flour and “baking mix” for?
Kathy Hester says
It should work with whole wheat pastry flour if that’s what you mean. If not can you clarify what you’re looking for?

Before “Gluten-free”, Joy of Cooking had a recipe for Gingerbread with rice flour; because it was the best. Gingerbread is just a good idea for everyone.
Svie says
Hi. This looks great. Do you know if I could freeze this for a week before serving?
Thank you.
Kathy Hester says
I haven’t frozen it before, but it should work.
Alisa Fleming says
I have a whole bag of teff and I’ve been wondering what to make with it. This looks like a delicious solution! Gingerbread is one of my favorites.
Edina Cservenkova says
Is 1 cup of baking mix correct? I thought this is normally just half a teaspoonful??
Kathy Hester says
It’s not baking powder or baking soda, but a gluten-free baking blend of flours that replaces wheat flour.
Yolanda Stanford says
I love how simple this recipe seems to be, and I can’t wait to try it!
Henrietta says
Is there a substitute for the baking mix?
Kathy Hester says
You can use whole wheat pastry flour.
