Cassava Pancakes

These heavenly cassava pancakes are not only delicious, but they are a great option for people with gluten intolerance. Not only that, cassava flour is low in fat, calories, and sugar, unlike other gluten-free flours such as almond or coconut flour. Many people find cassava pancakes to be even better tasting than pancakes made with wheat flour.

Ingredients

1 cup cassava flour We recommend Otto's Naturals Multi-Purpose Cassava Flour.
2 teaspoons baking powder Double acting.
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted and cooled.
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Add flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with a wire whisk. Set aside.
1 cup cassava flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
Add milk, egg, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract to a blender and blend for about a minute. Alternatively, you can add wet ingredients to a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer or vigorously with a wire whisk for a minute.
1¼ cup milk, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. It's okay if a few lumps remain. Set batter aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly spray a griddle or non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium heat. If using a griddle, you can adjust the temperature depending on how dark you want the pancakes.
Add about ¼ cup of batter to the hot surface. Repeat until there is no more room on the surface.
Cook until bubbles form and pop on the surface of the batter, about 4-5 minutes.
Spray a wide spatula lightly with cooking spray and slide it under one of the pancakes. With a swift motion, flip the pancake. Repeat with remaining pancakes. Cook for about 4-5 minutes longer.
Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep them warm. Repeat steps 4-7 with remaining batter.
