These AIP Pancakes made with cassava flour are a delicious and luxurious addition to your morning. When you're looking for that special weekend AIP breakfast treat, these pancakes whip up quickly and easily!

AIP Cassava Flour Pancakes

Cassava Flour

Tapioca Starch

tsp Cream of Tartar

tsp Baking Soda

Sea Salt

1.5 tbs Apple Cider Vinegar

tbs Coconut Sugar

tsp Vanilla Extract

Coconut oil

Mix all of the ingredients in blender (preferred method for fluffy pancakes) or in a large bowl and mix until smooth. Go for at least 30 seconds in the blender.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount (about a tablespoon) of coconut or avocado oil to the pan, melt if necessary, and then swirl around to cover.

Spoon 1-2 large spoonfuls (approx 2-3 tbs) of batter into the pan to form a pancake, and repeat until you run out of space. (These will be small, silver dollar sized pancakes, about 2 inches wide)

Cook for 3 minutes and then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.

This recipe is great- simple, the flavor is fantastic! However....these are NOT light and fluffy.  I have yet to make anything with cassava that IS light and fluffy, so I was skeptical going in. But the batter was light and fluffy, so I was optimistic. But the end result was warm and delicious, but dense and chewy. Perfectly fine and I will definitely make these again.  But if you expect the fluffy buttermilk pancake of your pre-aip days, you will be disappointed.  That being said, this was MUCH better than the other recipes I have tried. And my toddler was happy to have these- he has been asking for pancakes for months. So thank you!

I've been eating AIP for over two years now and have tried many pancake recipes. Most end up cooking like tortillas, or are tough and crispy and not appetizing. These are by far the best! I did do some substitutions for mine. 

Sub arrowroot powder for banana flour.

A dash of beef gelatin. 

Skipped the cream of tartar.

A tiny bit more coconut milk.

I'm glad I watched the video tutorial.

They make cute little light and fluffy pancakes! I topped mine with sliced banana, ginger powder and maple syrup. I will be making these again!

One of our family traditions is to have pancakes and ice cream for birthday breakfast, I am currently back on AIP following a Hashimoto's flare and was sooo happy to find your pancake recipe so I was able to fully enjoy our family tradition. They are the fluffiest and best tasting AIP pancakes I have tasted in my 2.5 year gluten free journey. Thank you!

I’ve been on the AIP diet for 7 days today and it’s been difficult for sure. I like savory spicy breakfasts and have never been big on pancakes, even chock full of yummy gluten! But, I’ve got to tell you, these were awesome! I even made them big and covered them with home made blueberry sauce and maple syrup. Thank you so much for the delicious recipe.

This is by far the best AIP compliant pancake recipe! I’ve made it so many times and it makes my day. I know one commenter said that they are not fluffy but omg they are sooo fluffy!!! Your tip about making the batter in a blender is the best tip to get it fluffy. Thank you for making my Saturday mornings the best!!

These are the best AIP pancakes I’ve made yet. After countless recipe fails,  I’m so happy to have found one that works! Thank you so much. I topped mine with warm berries :)

couldn't get these to cook on the stove without sticking.. so i used a waffle machine and they turned out super good. seriosuly tasty felt guilty after eating them lol. 

They turned out really gooey and soft for me. Yum. Although spiked my blood sugar haha. DO you know any good pancake or waffle recipes that use plantains instead?

thanks for the recipe (:

I love this recipe! a few tips:
 - mix the apple cider vinegar in with the coconut milk before combining with the dry ingredients, this helps to evenly activate the baking soda and gives a fluffier result.
- use copious amounts of coconut oil in a non-stick pan. First time I tried this recipe they stuck horribly.. use more oil than you would think.
- for DELISH "pizza crust" make the pancakes w/o sweetener &amp; vanilla (still use the banana) put Nomato sauce, cured meat, basil, nutritional yeast etc on the mini pizza-pancake then pop in the oven at 450 to crisp up. So happy to have my Friday night pizza night back!

Hmm. I was going to give opposite advice.  I have a great non-stick frying pan (t-fal) and found that I liked the texture better if I didn't use any cooking fat.  They are the "best" AIP pancake out there.  I've been doing AIP for more than 4 years now and needed a reset so I was in search for an AIP pancake.  I've probably tried more than a dozen recipes and haven't liked any of them until I found these.  However they ARE NOT light and fluffy.  They are chewy but still the best out there.  Also, you may want to use applesauce if you don't want a banana flavored pancake.  I was able to them normal pancake size.  I really like that they don't use gelatin.  I hate messing with it first thing in the morning. :0)

These are really good, thank you for the recipe. They remind of the fried banana dessert at PF Changs. I do have to say, the middle is a little gummy, but the outside was nice and crispy and yummy. I think next time I will make them like mini pancakes, to avoid so much of the gummy part. I added cinnamon, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, coconut flakes, and strawberries. Seriously tasted like a dessert!

I thought I was in heaven to eat these tonight. No, they are not like non AIP pancakes; however, by letting them cook until bubbles were present all across, the edges were crispy and delicious. I topped with fresh blueberries, coconut cream, and a very small touch of coconut nectar. Thank you for such an easy and tasty recipe to follow!

I did this! I didn’t have tapioca starch or cream of tartar so I used 1/4 cup arrowroot powder instead. I also put in blueberries on the last batch. Mixed the batter in the blender. All delicious!

These pancakes were so good! I tried them in the blander this time and did notice they had a nicer consistency than the previous method. The flavour is delicious and in our home we have made them savoury and sweet. The savoury version with prosciutto and spinach, fried onions with a splash of olive oil. For the sweet version I made the chocolate sauce and have also topped them with blueberry compote. Delicious! Thanks Michele for all your wonderful recipes !

I made a double batch tonight expecting lots of leftovers! It was a huuuuge hit with my husband and 2 sons, 11 and 15.  We made strawberry tacos with them, just filling them with sliced strawberries and folding the pancake over and wow!!! 

My guys eat a very typical diet, so I’m always really happy when an AIP recipe satisfies the whole family! 

THANK YOU for this recipe!!!! 🙏🏻

I made these as waffles because I don't like the gumminess of cassava flour. They were REALLY GOOD! Crispy and Light in the waffle iron! I didn't have banana but used the applesauce and added 1/3tsp of cinnamon. I've been on the elimination phase of AIP for over 6 months now trying to get relief of some issues. Because of that I have not used coconut sugar at all.  Today I made an exception and tried these with the 2Tbsp of coconut sugar. These were so very sweet for me but my daughter who is not on the diet thought they were amazing with a pile of fresh berries on top. The banana ones are worth a try if they are anything like these. I am going to try them with only a small amount of honey and substitute the banana for pumpkin. Might be good too. The banana ones are worth a try if they are anything like these.. Soany options now. Thank you Michele. I've used many of your recipes to help me through.

Yum, I’m super stoked on these. I’ve been looking for a grain-free egg free pancake and these hit the spot! My batter is ultra thick tho - anyone else?

I seriously love these! I made a few subs and since I'm an avid fan of that mochi texture these really made me super happy. 

The substitutions I think gave mine more "chew" and made them somehow smell and taste reminiscent of Krispy Kreme doughnuts which was wildly unexpected but deeply appreciated lol!

I used thawed frozen raspberries and a few roasted chestnuts mashed (for texture) to replace the banana and some maple syrup to replace the coconut sugar. I also used a bit of ghee for cooking in my pan. 

They were pink too so I'm totally remaking them for valentines day :D 

Thanks so much for this recipe it really is delish.

Super delicious!  My boyfriend just started AIP and we have tasted  some not so great breakfasts.  This was a hit despite the gummy texture,   Neither of us minded it and they were super filling and didn't need any Maple.  I used honey instead of coconut sugar and it worked out great.
