I’ve been so excited trying out this new cassava flour from Otto’s Naturals! You can replace it in a 1:1 ratio for regular wheat flour in most recipes, but it’s GLUTEN-FREE, GRAIN-FREE, NUT-FREE, & PALEO. Cassava or Yuca happens to have a sticky/gummy texture if you’ve ever had mashed yuca before (which I love). I’m no scientist, but I’m going to assume that’s why it’s so easy to substitute for glutenous flours. No special blends or xanthadfsfasd gum needed here, folks! This couldn’t be easier. Phew!
After perusing their website for recipes, I was inspired to make a vegan brownie which turned into banana-nut. This is pretty much the perfect excuse to eat brownies for breakfast… in case you needed one, that is. I like to make brownies in muffin tins sometimes, especially when I want to share easily, which I promise… I do share! And so should you. These are also nice and fudgy and less cake-like (if you like brownies more on the cake side, consider adding baking soda or powder). Hope you enjoy!

These were so delicious. Love the crunch outside and the super chocolatey soft insides! A real winner to use up ripe bananas!
YAY! So glad you enjoyed it.
This looks so good. Could I use any other oil other than coconut?
Sure! You could try light olive oil or grass fed butter/ghee, melted. Have fun experimenting! 🙂
Oh yes, this will be going down! I’m planning to bring it to our celiac Holiday party next week and can’t wait to sample it first 😉 Thanks for an easy recipe!
Woohoo! Perfect for a party. Thanks for visiting and trying it out, I hope you loved it <3
I am definitely going to try the recipe 😀 Anyway have you tried baking cookies with cassava flour? I just try it a couple weeks ago and it was very good!
I haven’t yet! Good to know 😉
I’ve never used cassava flour, but I’d love to try it. These sound delicious! I’ll take any excuse to have brownies for breakfast 🙂
Yes! I recommend giving it a try, so easy to replace it for regular flour recipes. Brownies for breakfast is key!! 😉
