Ingredients
  

Pancakes - Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tsp white distilled vinegar (sub apple cider vinegar for paleo)
  • 1 ½ cup vanilla almond milk
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract (non alcoholic & no added sugar for paleo)
  • 1 egg (sub flax egg for vegan)
  • ¼ cup sugar (monk fruit for low sugar, coconut for paleo)
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup 

Pancakes - Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup cassava flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder (I use Otto's for paleo)
  • ½ tsp salt

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted (vegan for dairy free/vegan, ghee for paleo)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Icing

  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 5-6 tbsp powdered sugar (maple for paleo, monkfruit for sugar free)

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine almond milk and vinegar together and allow to sit for 5-7 minutes.
  • While you wait, in two separate bowls combine all of the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients. Whisk each bowl together until combined.
  • Pour the milk and vinegar mixture into your wet ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix together until smooth. The batter will be thick!
  • Heat a greased (I recommend using coconut oil or avocado oil) skillet or pancake griddle to medium heat. Do not pour the batter onto the skillet/griddle until it is hot or else to pancakes will be fairly flat.
  • Combine cinnamon swirl ingredients and pour into one corner of a plastic bag. Secure and place the bag in the fridge for a few minutes, then cut off a small piece of the corner.
  • Combine the icing ingredients and set aside.
  • Once the griddle/skillet is hot, pour ⅓ cup of batter onto the skillet/griddle. Take the bag with the cinnamon swirl and carefully swirl it over the top of the pancake. Cook for a few minutes, then flip the pancake to be swirl side down. Allow to cook for a few more minutes until done.
  • Once both sides are golden or once they have reached your desired doneness, plate the pancakes and serve with a drizzle of icing!
