At a recent health expo I discovered Banana flour which is a Gluten free flour made from Green bananas. It is quickly becoming a new favourite in my household because it is high in resistant starch providing benefits for the good bacteria in our gut, helping to lower blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity. It has a really mild flavour so works in lots of recipes unlike the wonderful but very full flavoured Coconut flour.
This recipe is super easy to make with only a few ingredients.
