    Can anyone point me in the right direction for a thickening agent. Am making Hairy Bikers Lasagna and looking to thicken the béchamel sauce. Friend pointed me in the direction of Arrowroot over cornflour as no sugar but it is high in carbs and comes in at 85 on the GI chart.

    Has anyone got any suggestions please.

    Coconut flour make a very good thickening agent as it absorbs lots of liquid.

    Use less than you would think Kazd, it does absorb an awful lot of liquid.
