Using Cassava Flour in Your Baking

Start with a recipe that names this flour. Rice, cassava and coconut use different swap estimates, so keep the flour and starch proportions together when your recipe calls for a blend.

Binder starting point: Keep your recipe's blend ingredients and amounts together. No starting xanthan gum amount is listed here. Follow your recipe’s binder instructions for the finished blend.

Use the Flour Converter for estimated flour amounts and any conversion limits, or the Blend Builder to compare recipe-type blend presets. See methodology for data sources.
