Let’s talk about Cassava Flour and what to do if you Can’t find it
Cassava flour is made from the root of the cassava plant. It is a popular flour for gluten-free, grain-free and nut-free recipes. If you cannot find cassava flour, there are acceptable substitutes and I’ve listed them below with their limitations.
- Tapioca Starch is also derived from the cassava plant and makes an acceptable substitute for cassava flour with the understanding that tapioca starch does not have the thickening properties of cassava flour. So you will need to use a thickening agent when substituting Tapioca flour for cassava flour.
- Arrowroot Flour is made from an Indonesian root and is very high in fiber and potassium. Its neutral flavor and color make it an ideal substitute.
- Potato Starch can be used as a substitute with the knowledge that it will make baked goods much heavier because of the natural thickening properties of potatoes.
- Chickpea Flour can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio with cassava flour with the understanding that Chickpea Flour has a strong, nutty flavor.
- Tree Nut Warning-Stay away from Almond Flour if there is a known tree nut allergy. If there is not a concern, Almond Flour can be substituted for cassava flour.
- The jury is out on whether a coconut is a tree nut, so proceed with caution if you have a tree nut allergy. Coconut Flour can be used as a substitute, but in smaller amounts.
- Rice Flour is probably the best and safest substitute for cassava flour out there.
