Perfect Wraps from Paleo Naan Recipe

Usually I see a recipe, and change about 30% of it before I am happy enough to share it and call it my own.

Well, this three ingredient recipe from Ashley at My Heart Beets is absolutely perfect!  It makes the ideal wrap: stretchy, soft and flexible.  All with just three ingredients.
  • Tapioca flour**
  • Almond flour
  • Coconut milk
The only change I have made is to make them as thin as possible and use them as wraps - and they are amazing! The photo is of my dinner tonight, some salad and mild curried chickpeas I just wrapped up and ate.  

Please note you MUST use a NON-STICK pan for this recipe.  This has been confirmed by a friend who is a superb chef, and she just couldn't get them thin and right in a regular pan.

Another option comes from Alicia at Magic and Mayhem where in the comment section below she wrote 'you can make these without a non-stick pan if you have a well-seasoned old cast iron frying pan' she also adds a drop of coconut oil to the pan.  

I love wrapping food - for lunch today I used sprouted tortillas and put in homemade vegan fermented cashew cheese, guacamole and salad. Super yummy healthy meal to throw in my bag and eat after my Cantonese class.  

One wrap from dinner was saved to have tomorrow for my mid morning snack - thinking my homemade raw almond hemp seed butter and this raw chia mango jam.

Enough from me, go to the link to get the recipe, make them thin, and enjoy superb wraps with your next meal!  Or just make mini pancakes and serve them on their own as a 'bread' or put in the kids lunch boxes.

** Tapioca Flour is also called Tapioca Starch and easy to find in local Hong Kong supermarkets or Asian supermarkets.  If you want organic, then try this Tapioca Flour.

Enjoy Kate! They are really 'stretchy' due to the tapioca, which will be fun for the kids ;)

I made these from her recipe too. I agree it's a great recipe for crepes but it didn't work at all as a naan for me because I wanted it thick and just couldn't get it thick and fluffy enough. I ended up making my own version for naan that worked better.

I also wanted to add that you can make these without a non-stick pan if you have a well-seasoned old cast iron frying pan. Ours has been used and seasoned enough over the years that it's glassy smooth and I put a touch of coconut oil in it. My crepes (including these) came out perfectly and didn't stick at all, flipping easily. I love cast iron because we can avoid the toxic non-stick coatings if we just use it, beat it up and love it long enough. :) One secret to making a new cast iron pan work well quickly is to always use a metal spatula on it, to help smooth out those bumps from when it's new. Gotta love a pan you can scrape and beat up on! LOL

Hi Alicia

Thanks so much for your comment! It's great to know a good cast iron pan works too, I am ashamed to admit I don't have one so would not know :(

I will amend the post and refer to your comment.

Thanks again!!
