Ingredients

4 ounces whole-wheat flour (about 1 cup)
2.38 ounces teff flour (about 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 large egg
Cooking spray

How to Make It

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Whisk together flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, molasses, oil, beer, granulated sugar, ginger, and egg in a medium bowl; add to flour mixture, whisking just until blended.
Pour batter into an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 45 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Sprinkle gingerbread with powdered sugar; cut into 12 squares.
