With Sasas Mix, 22-year-old student Niaka Porte is sharing her family recipe for ricebread, a popular dessert in Liberia that takes the form of a naturally gluten-free banana rice cake made with rice and warm spices of ginger and nutmeg. This first-of-its-kind West African banana bread baking mix was meticulously made with simple and authentic ingredients, and the finished product is vegan, gluten-free, free from the top eight allergens and easy to prepare in less than 10 minutes.
Thanks to its unique ingredients, the baking mixes are said to yield baked goods that are both rich and fluffy and bold in flavor. The ricebread banana bread mixes are now being shared with the world in Original and Chocolate Chip varieties, which can be found in pouch packaging with African-inspired patterns.
