Fluffy Paleo Pancakes (Nut-Free)

The eternal search for a fool-proof fluffy pancakes recipe is real. I am not going to make claims this is it, but it is pretty darn close. While this are not AIP compliant, as they use 1 whole egg, if you have successfully reintroduced eggs, then these bad boys are for you. These pancakes use my favorite flour ever, Otto's Cassava Flour and a little coconut flour, but no nut flour or milk which is a nice change from many of the other paleo pancakes out there.

Fluffy Paleo Pancakes

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon cassava flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 cup coconut milk

Instructions

1. In a large bowl whisk cassava flour, coconut flour, and baking soda.
2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together maple syrup, egg, 1/4 cup avocado oil, and coconut milk.
3. Add wet ingredients to large bowl with dry ingredients. Combine with a spoon until mix is completely wet, but don't over combine. You want it to be lumpy. It will be a pretty thick batter.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in medium frying pan over medium heat. 
5. Using a 1/4 measuring cup (fill about half way) to scoop batter into pan and form a pancake. Make sure the mix stays about a 1/4 inch thick, this is how you will get a fluffy pancake. I usually get about 3 in a pan.
6. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes. Check the bottom to see if it is browned, then flip. Cook for another 3 minutes on the remaining side.
7. Remove from pan and repeat steps 5 & 6 with the remaining batter.
8. Serve with your favorite toppings like coconut cream, maple syrup, and/or caramelized apple slices. 

Mix makes about 8 three-inch pancakes.
