Imagine a single-ingredient flour that’s grain-free, nut-free, and nearly identical in texture to traditional flour. Too good to be true? Not with cassava.

Whether you’re gluten-free, paleo, or just looking for a clean, no-compromise alternative to traditional flour, cassava might just become your go-to. It’s the star of our Remix Stacks recipe—it hits all the right notes: light, fluffy, satisfying—no wheat, no sugar, no worries.

Let’s get into why it’s having a major moment.

What Is Cassava Flour, Anyway?

Cassava flour comes from the whole root of the cassava plant, also known as yuca. This tropical root vegetable is native to South America and used around the world in everything from flatbreads to fries.

The flour is made by peeling, drying, and grinding the whole root into a fine, soft powder. The result is:

• Grain-free and gluten-free

• Nut-free and allergen-friendly

• Neutral-tasting and easy to bake with

That’s why it’s a staple in many global cuisines—and why it’s catching on fast in the wellness world.

There’s no shortage of flour alternatives out there, but they often come with trade-offs:

• Almond flour can be heavy and dense, and it’s not great for people with nut allergies.

• Coconut flour absorbs tons of moisture and requires serious recipe tweaking.

• Oat flour is still a grain and can contain gluten unless certified gluten-free.

Cassava flour? None of those issues.

It’s a one-to-one swap in many traditional recipes, with a texture and taste that makes it easy for even picky eaters to love.

Why We Love It (and You Will Too)

Here’s why cassava flour stands out:

• Neutral Flavor: No weird aftertaste. It blends into recipes seamlessly.

• Great Texture: Light, fluffy, chewy, or crispy depending on how you use it.

• Digestibility: It’s rich in resistant starch, which supports gut health and helps with satiety and blood sugar regulation.

• Versatility: Pancakes, waffles, tortillas, cookies, flatbreads—you name it.

• No Top 8 Allergens: A true crowd-pleaser if you’re cooking for a group.

And here’s the big one:

Cassava flour helps you stick to your clean eating goals without sacrificing joy.

That’s what we’re about at Remixology.

Remix Recipes Using Cassava Flour

Here are a few of our favorite uses:

1. Cassava Pancakes

Fluffy and golden with a crisp edge. Add cinnamon and nutmeg for weekend brunch vibes.

2. Grain-Free Tortillas

Soft, bendy, perfect for tacos. You won’t miss the wheat one bit.

3. Flatbreads and Pizza Crust

Pizzas, wraps, gyros—this flour does it all. Top with pesto, avocado, or leftover roasted veggies.

4. Cookies and Brownies

Surprisingly chewy and sweet-tooth approved. Works great in cookies and brownies.

5. Fry Batter

A light coating that crisps up beautifully without any grainy feel.

But Wait—Is Cassava Flour Healthy?

Yes—and like any starch, it’s best enjoyed in balance.

Cassava is a starch (like potatoes or plantains), so while it’s grain-free, it’s not low-carb. But it is:

• High in resistant starch (supports gut health and blood sugar balance)

• Easier on digestion than grain-based flours

• Free from common allergens

It’s a great choice when you want to feel good after eating—not sluggish or bloated.

How to Shop for Cassava Flour

Not all cassava flours are created equal. Look for:

• 100% cassava flour (no additives or blends)

• Responsibly sourced and processed with minimal refining

• Trusted brands like Otto’s Naturals or Terrasoul (we link our favorites in the shop)

Or try it in one of our Remix baking mixes for a no-fuss intro.
