Ingredients
  • 1 rips plantain
  • 1 cup Cassava flour
  • 1/3 cup arrowroot powder
  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.

  2. In a food processor, process the ripe plantain until smooth.  Scoop out the plantain into a medium mixing bowl. Add the arrowroot powder, cassava flour, avocado oil, canned coconut milk, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.  Stir slowly using a large mixing spoon until mixture forms a dough ball. (Will appear sticky, but will easily roll in hands.)

  3. Scoop dough out using a spoon and place into 8 equal-sized dough balls.  Shape into round plump buns. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown on the bottoms. 
    Remove from oven.  Let cool for 5-7 minutes.  Cut lengthwise making a sandwich bun.
