Arrowroot is a type of root that is ground into a flour or powder. It’s commonly used in gluten-free cooking, and is more like cornstarch than all-purpose flour. It’s also as a thickener in recipes such as vegan cheese. Since arrowroot flour isn’t used like all-purpose flour; a little goes a long way. You can use arrowroot flour in a variety of recipes, so we’ve included a many below. Don’t forget to check out these recipes and many others on our Food Monster App!

I like to serve these chocolate cupcakes chilled (straight from the fridge or freezer) because cool temperatures and chocolate cake are best friends in my book.
