Egg Free Bread
Y’all AIP bread recipes are like unicorns. True Story. But for those of the paleo persuasion that need egg-free bread food, this AIP plantain flatbread is for you! It’s grain-free, flour-free and made in the blender using plantains. Great for avocado toast or with Blood Orange Shredded Chicken!
Why Are They Different Colors?
I like this recipe with yellow plantains, but green ones work well too. The color might change depending on the ripeness of plantains. After doing some research I also learned that the baking soda might be responsible for the change in color too. To keep your flatbread nice and yellow, skip it.
