Recipe
Cassava-flour pancakes, maple & berries
Grain- and egg-free pancakes with maple and blueberries.
Ingredients
- Cassava flour — ⅓ cup
- Tapioca flour — 1 Tbsp
- Baking powder — ½ tsp
- Baking soda — ¼ tsp
- Chia seeds (for chia egg, + 3 Tbsp water)
- Full-fat coconut milk — ½ cup, thinned
- Apple-cider vinegar — ½ tsp
- Sea salt (pinch)
- Cinnamon — ¼ tsp
- Coconut oil (for the pan)
- Maple syrup — 1 tsp
- Blueberries — ½ oz (~10)
Method
- Stir the chia into 3 Tbsp water; rest 8 minutes to gel.
- Whisk the dry ingredients. Stir the vinegar into the coconut milk, then whisk it and the chia gel in to a thick batter; rest 5 minutes.
- Cook small pancakes in coconut oil over medium-LOW, ~2–3 minutes a side, flipping once bubbles form.
- Serve with maple and blueberries.
Notes
Rest the batter the full 5 minutes — cassava flour absorbs liquid slowly, and skipping the rest gives gummy pancakes. Cook on medium-LOW; the high starch content browns fast and the inside needs time to set without burning.
