Abstract Composite flour comprising cocoyam (Colocassia esculenta), bambara groundnut and cassava starch was produced. The proximate and minerals compositions and functional properties were optimized using optimal mixture design of response surface methodology. The antinutritional, pasting and farinograph analyses of the optimum blends were evaluated. Bambara groundnut improved protein, fibre, ash and minerals contents; cassava starch improved swelling capacity, least gelation and pasting characteristics. The optimum blends CBC1 (70% cocoyam flour, 18.33% bambara groundnut flour, 11.67% cassava starch) and CBC2 (69.17% cocoyam flour, 16.67% bambara groundnut flour, 14.17% cassava starch). were comparable to wheat–based flour samples (60% wheat, 30% cocoyam, 10% bambara groundnut flours) and (72% wheat, 19% cocoyam, 9% bambara groundnut flours) in terms of pasting and farinograph analyses.
