Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. 
  2. In a large bowl, combine cassava flour, tigernut flour, coconut flour, sea salt, and baking soda. Then make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  3. In a food processor, add coconut milk, maple syrup, palm shortening, and vanilla. Pulse until just combined.*Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the center of the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. 
  4. Make gelatin egg by mixing apple cider vinegar with gelatin powder to create a paste. 
  5. Pour in hot water and whisk with a fork until all the gelatin is dissolved and the mixture is frothy. Fold gelatin egg into the dough.
  6. In a separate bowl, make cinnamon swirl by combining coconut sugar, cinnamon, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Press half of the dough into the prepared pan and smooth into a flat layer with a spatula.
  8. Drizzle 3/4 of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top the bottom layer of dough and swirl with a toothpick.
  9. Top with the remaining dough and use a spatula to smooth the top flat.
  10. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cinnamon swirl mixture over the top.
  11. Place in the middle rack of the preheated oven and set timer for 3 minutes.
  12. After 3 minutes, once the batter has begun to soften, open oven and use a toothpick to run through the batter 4-5 times to create a swirl in the cinnamon mixture. Bake for an additional 20 minutes. 
  13. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares of desired size.

Notes

*The wet ingredient mixture should look like a curdled batter, the shortening should not be completely melted. See the step by step photos for reference.
