Cassava Banana Muffins Recipe

Preparation: 10 min Cooking 20 min

I made this cassava banana muffins recipe to explore some more gluten and nuts free options and it was a big hit. My kids and everyone else in the family loved it. I even shared it at my school for one of my healthy recipes food demo and everyone loved there too. The gluten free baked goodies you see at the grocery store shelves are not necessary healthy. The list of ingredients are so big and usually filled with sugars, artificial colors and flavors.

What is Cassava Flour? It’s a type of gluten-free, wheat flour alternative that’s made by grating and drying the fibrous cassava root (yuca). It thought to have originated from the South-American forests. It’s sweet, and chewy underground tuber is one of the traditional edible root vegetables. Indigenous people of many parts of Africa, Asia, and South American continents used it as a staple food source for centuries
