I love having nowhere to go and spending the whole day with my family. It’s on these type of days I like to experiment with morning breakfast favorites, along with other non-breakfast food items. So today, I’m sharing grain-free pancakes. I’m sure you’re probably wondering if I’m not using grain flour then how in the world am I going to make pancakes? Let alone pancakes that are fluffy, moist, and edible? I’m here to tell you it can be done, and I must say they turned out better than I originally thought!
The grain free ‘flour’ I use in place of even my gluten-free flour is none other than cassava flour. This flour can be replaced with any flour and can be used in a variety of any sweet or savory baked good recipes. Cassava is a vegetable root, that is peeled, dried, and eventually ground down to make flour. This flour can really be substituted for any type of flour in your favorite recipes. In fact, I just used this flour to bread some fish last week and it turned out light and delicious. Most stores carry a cassava flour brand. Personally, I have tried 3 separate brands and all the pancakes I made turned out excellent. I’ll let you know when I make chocolate chip cookies using cassava flour and report back!
I must confess, prior to making these pancakes, I never actually made pancakes…shocking I know! So, I really can’t tell you which ones taste better but if you’re looking at trying something new here you go. Sometimes adjusting old recipes to fit new lifestyle changes can be a lot of fun!
When mixing the few ingredients together, I combine both wet and dry ingredients together instead of separating them. And last step so my pancakes do not stick to the pan when their cooking, I like to spray a little avocado spray before placing the pancake mixture on the stove each time. You guys, that is it! Simple, quick and very easy breakfast! Happy Saturday!

What a crazy past couple of weeks, make that months it’s been, and I can’t believe we are half way through February of 2020!! In the craziness I was so fortunate to collaborate with Lesley the owner and maker of Farm Finds Candle Company. Her unique spin on candles are not only one-of-a-kind and functional, but I promise that you will never look at an empty container the same way again.
