Cassava Flour Recipes

Have you tried to make a recipe using Cassava Flour yet? We have been using new flours lately in an attempt to cut back on the amount of grains we eat. Cassava flour is light and fluffy.

Is Cassava Flour Paleo?”

It is! That is one of the reasons I have been creating more recipes with cassava.

It comes from the cassava root or yucca plant. It is low in calories, fat, and sugar. Cassava is considered high carb and is starchy like a sweet potato or yam.

If you want to try more recipes with cassava flour, try these light and fluffy Paleo Strawberry Muffins, or these Lemony Paleo Lemon Bars.

Healthy Ingredients in this paleo mashed banana pancakes recipe include:

• Chia seeds, well known for their protein, iron, potassium, and magnesium. Chia seeds are nutrient dense and easy to hide in this pancake recipe.
• Flaxseed meal. This is a fun way to add omega 3s and fiber to these cassava flour pancakes.
• Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, and they make these pancakes sweet so kids love them.
• Coconut oil is a great source of monolaurin, something we are finding to be very helpful in dealing with viruses.
• (Optional) Collagen peptide protein powder. I add a scoop of this gut healing protein powder into my pancakes to up the protein content. This is totally optional.

Are you ready to make this tasty banana pancakes recipe? All you need is one bowl so clean up is a breeze!

The first step is to take two very ripe bananas and smash them into a bowl. After the bananas are all smooshed, add the rest of the wet ingredients (eggs, coconut oil, and coconut milk.)

Next the dry ingredients (cassava, arrowroot starch, chia seeds, coconut sugar, flaxseed meal, baking soda and powder, and salt.)

If you don’t have ripe bananas, here are a few ways to ripen them quickly so you can make this recipe.

How to ripen bananas:

You can put your bananas on a grill. Slice the peel to allow air to vent. Grill on low heat for 10-15 minutes. The benefit to this method is the bananas caramelize, adding so much natural sweetness!

Another way to ripen your bananas is to put them in the oven on 300F degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes.

If you have a day or two, put your bananas into a brown paper bag and allow to sit on the counter for 2 days.
