Today I want to share about another interesting gluten-free find from the Online Nourished Festival: Metta Gluten-Free Flour. Metta’s founder came up with this product after his eight-year old son was diagnosed with a gluten-sensitivity. Since their family enjoyed eating chapatis and rotis (usually made from wheat flour), he wanted to come up with a gluten-free flour alternative.
According to the website, Metta Gluten Free flour is made with nutritionally rich, non-GMO ingredients like sorghum, teff, and flaxseed, while avoiding other common allergens like corn, soy, eggs, dairy, and nuts.
I tried a recipe for banana muffins from the Metta Gluten Free Flour website.
The Metta flour had a texture very similar to wheat flour. I found it quite easy to bake with. I used two cups of the Metta flour in this recipe, instead of the suggested 1 cup of Metta flour and 1 cup of almond flour.
I decided to pour the muffin batter into my mini loaf pan instead of a muffin tin. The loaves turned a nice golden brown, and had just the right amount of sweetness.
The texture was a little heartier than when I use wheat flour, but the taste was great! I cannot wait to try using Metta Gluten-Free Flour in more recipes.
Currently, Metta Gluten-Free Flour can be purchased through their website. If you or someone you know is looking for a gluten-free flour, check out Metta Gluten-Free Flour!

Thank you so much Lauren for trying out Metta Gluten Free flour, baking this delicious looking banana bread, and posting on your blog. Not to mention the wonderful review you left on the product website. I am so happy that you liked the flour. We think its quite amazing in taste and texture, especially if you are looking for that hearty wheat like quality to your baked goods. And of course unlike other gluten free flours in the market, it makes healthy, soft, and flavorful tortillas. Thank you once again for your support!!
