Thinking about pancakes or waffles? Maybe a batch of fudgy vegan gluten free brownies? How about some home-made tortillas? We suggest Trader Joe’s Cassava Cauliflower Blend Baking Mix. This mix is a carefully calibrated blend of three gluten free flours – cassava, cauliflower, and fonio – combined with baking powder & salt, making it ready to use for so many cooking and baking endeavors. Our supplier, originally from Nigeria, is passionate about bringing the foods she grew up with in West Africa to the American palate. Here, she’s combined Cassava – also known as yuca – a starchy, root vegetable that behaves much like wheat flour in baking, with Fonio, a nutrient-dense grain related to millet, and native to West Africa. When milled into flour, it delivers a mild, subtly nutty flavor. Including cauliflower powder (flour) in the blend means lower overall carbs than comparable gluten free baking mixes. This multi-purpose baking mix is mild-tasting, and produces baked goods that are dense and delicious – not grainy or gritty like some other gluten free mixes.
