One member asked me for a recipe containing a lot of green banana flour because it is one of the resistant starches, meaning it functions similar to soluble fiber. The recipe for pancakes that came with the package turned out gummy. So, I made a recipe for muffins, sweetened with pure maple syrup. So, don’t feel guilty when serving them for breakfast. They are super flavorful and moist. NO MIXER NEEDED!
In this article, I go over the best sources of resistant starches, how to bake with green banana flour, and include a recipe for gluten free green banana flour muffins. While you cannot use 100% green banana flour in baking, you can use enough to take advantage of its health benefits.

So, I have figured a workaround by adding yet another ingredient along with psyllium husk powder that works like a charm. Continue reading “Gluten Free Flour Mix Without Xanthan Gum (Gum-Free)”
