Plantain, Yam, or Sweet Potato Flour
If you’ve never made your own flour before, don’t be intimidated. It’s super easy, and practically foolproof. You can use these flours pretty much anywhere you’d use other flours (except coconut flour), though results will vary depending on the recipe. Use plantain if you are on a low-FODMAP diet. This recipe is for plantain flour, but you can use the same amount of yam or sweet potato for different types of flour.
Looking for more easy AIP recipes?
I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal!
