Paleo Pumpkin Cassava Pancakes (The Best Pumpkin Pancakes)

Oct 30, 2018 · 10 Comments

These Paleo Pumpkin Cassava Pancakes are made with cassava flour, moist, fluffy and lightly sweetened. This easy, grain free pancake recipe is perfect for a healthy weekend breakfast or brunch.

Paleo pancakes and crepes are the number one requested breakfast food around my house.

So, every Saturday and Sunday morning I’m experimenting with a new combination of ingredients to feed my hungry boys (husband included). 

My kids have a preference for chocolate.  And, while I can’t blame them, I do love a soft, fluffy pumpkin pancake like these Pumpkin Cassava Pancakes.  Thankfully my husband does too, so I don’t have to recipe test and eat all the end results myself!

Pumpkin Cassava Pancakes

These healthy cassava flour pancakes are one of my favorite pancake recipes because they are:

  • gluten free, grain free & nut free - made with Ottos Cassava Flour
  • dairy free - no butter or milk
  • refined sugar free - sweetened with coconut sugar
  • fluffy and moist (is there a better texture?)
  • easy to make - always a pancake must!

You really can’t go wrong with a gluten free pumpkin pancake recipe like this!  Especially during the fall months when pumpkin is all the rage 😉

Ingredients in Pumpkin Cassava Pancakes

These moist pancakes contain simple, Paleo friendly ingredients.  In addition, they are nut free and coconut free.

Cassava Flour

These healthy pancakes are made with cassava flour.  My favorite brand of cassava flour is Otto’s Cassava Flour.  They have the highest quality cassava flour and it works better for Paleo baking than any other brand I’ve tried. 

Otto’s Cassava Flour peels, dries and then grinds their cassava into a reliable flour.  They also ensure that every batch is free of the top 8 allergens.

Coconut Sugar

These pancakes are sweetened with coconut sugar.  However, any Paleo friendly sugar or sweetener would work.  For instance, maple syrup, honey or monk fruit sweetener.

Pumpkin Puree

Obviously, pumpkin is a must for making pumpkin pancakes.  This recipe uses canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.  You could also make your own pumpkin puree by steaming raw pumpkin and then blending it in a blender or food processor until the mixture is smooth.

Eggs

This recipe calls for eggs.  However, if you are egg free, substituting with flax or chia eggs would work as well.  Simply combine 2 Tbsp ground flax (or chia seed) with 6 Tbsp water.  Stir, then let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.

Avocado Oil

This recipe uses a little bit of avocado oil for texture purposes. Any liquid oil would work as a replacement (such as olive oil or melted coconut oil).

How to Make Pumpkin Cassava Pancakes

These cassava flour pancakes are one of the easiest Paleo pancake recipes. The batter is made in one bowl, cooked on a frying pan and then ready to eat!

Here are the step by step instructions:

First, grab a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add all the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir with a whisk.

Next, add in the wet ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth.

Place your frying pan on the stove top. Add a little oil (I used coconut oil) and set the heat to medium.

Once the pan is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour about ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the pan. Use the measuring cup or a spoon to spread the batter out into a circle. Cover the frying pan with a lid and let the pancake cook until a lot of bubbles have formed on top.

Lastly, flip the pancake and cook about a minute more, or until done. Note: the pancakes should be fairly easy to flip. If you're having trouble, then let them cook a little longer before flipping.

Paleo Pancake Toppings

The pancakes in these photos were topped with pomegranate seeds, maple syrup and cinnamon. Here are some other great Paleo pancake toppings:

  • chopped nuts
  • date syrup, honey
  • bee pollen
  • dairy free yogurt
  • fruit: fresh, frozen or dried
  • coconut cream
  • coconut butter

      Hi! I haven't tried this substitution, so I can't say. But if you try, let me know how it turns out.

    The pancakes were delicious! It has been so long since I have eaten pancakes, and I had some frozen pumpkin puree from last fall. I will definitely make them again with a little more spice, and maybe add toasted walnuts on top. Thanks so much!
