Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cassava flour (180g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (4g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (7g)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (3g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (35g)
- 2 flax eggs (1 tablespoon flax seed meal + 3 tablespoons water = 1 flax egg)
Optional add ons:
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F so that it can start warming up while you make everything else.
- Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix them up using a whisk.
- Make your flax eggs by mixing the flax seed meal with water in a separate bowl and let it sit.
- Add all wet ingredients, except the bananas and flax meal, to another small bowl or cup and mix to combine.
- Smash up the bananas in a bowl or cup using a fork. You can also pop them in a food processor but this just means you’ll have more things to clean up. A fork does the job too.
- Add the wet ingredients, the flax eggs, and the bananas to the dry ingredients and mix everything to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to an 8×4 loaf pan, or something similar, lined with parchment paper and pop in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Bread is ready when toothpick comes out clean. Best served warm!
Notes
- Once bread sits in the fridge overnight it may be a lot firmer the next day. If you want to soften it up again just pop it in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes at 350F.
