The tubers produce a neutral flavored flour which is allergen friendly and appropriate for Paleo and Whole 30 diets. It is becoming quite popular in grain-free baking.
How to Make Cassava Bread
Here are the instructions to make the cassava flour bread. Print the cassava bread recipe card below.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Insert a piece of parchment paper into a 9x5" loaf pan. Make sure the paper is long enough that sides are easy to lift loaf out of pan once it is done. If you don't have parchment on-hand grease the loaf pan well or coat thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray.
Here are the ingredients you will need to make this gluten-free bread:
6 large eggs
2 cups cassava flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
½ cup avocado oil
½ cup filtered water, room temperature
Grab a medium and a large mixing bowl.
Beat eggs in the medium mixing bowl. Add apple cider vinegar, honey, avocado oil and water to the bowl (not necessary to mix).
Add cassava flour, salt and baking powder to the large mixing bowl. Whisk to mix the dry ingredients together.
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine, breaking down larger lumps.
Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and place in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Remove from oven. Carefully remove bread from loaf pan and place on a cooling rack to cool for at least an hour before cutting.
Allow bread to come to room temperature (at least 2 hours) before placing in an airtight container.

Robin Gagnon says
Sorry, I have a keto one, but it has erythritol and eggs in it.
angel says
i just made this and added some chia seeds, i also used 1 1/2 cups cassava flour and 1/2 cup coconut flour because i didnt have enough cassava flour. i also forgot to use 2 bowls so wet ingredients were mixed together first and then i added the dry ingredients one at a time next it all seemed to mix together well so we shall see how it turns out. hope the changes dont effect it too much.
Beth Ann says
Will coconut or olive oil work for this?
Robin Gagnon says
Yes, you can swap any oil. Just make sure coconut oil is in liquid state when adding.
RC says
How can I make the bread rise more so that it’s more fluffy?
Robin Gagnon says
Adding a little more baking powder might increase rise a little. The other option would be to separate the whites and yolks of the eggs and beat the whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold those in last as you mix. (It is how old school angel food cake gets rise).
