Hi! I really appreciate delicious vegan recipes and how you take the time to label everything.
Do you have a suggestion for a sub for the cassava flour in the Hummingbird muffin recipe? I could look it up, but I trust you more. 🙂

Hi Monica, I’m sorry; I don’t have a sub for cassava flour and haven’t made the sub with that recipe. It’s so unique in its characteristics. It would end up being part tapioca flour and partly a more aerated flour like tiger nut or almond. I hope that helps a little. 🙂
