These pancakes differ from my keto pancakes in that they are dairy free, slightly higher carb, and use cassava flour instead of nut flours. These paleo pancakes are nut free, dairy free, gluten free, and refined sugar free.
Cassava flour is a grain free flour that is made from grinding the root of the cassava plant, also called the yuca plant. It is naturally gluten free too. The texture of cassava flour mimics traditional wheat flour so it is a great replacement for gluten free and anti-inflammatory baking.
These chocolate paleo pancakes have a very smooth and “normal” pancake texture. Unlike my fluffy keto pancakes that use almond flour, these cassava flour pancakes have a smoother texture and mouthfeel.
By themselves, these pancakes taste a bit like a semi-sweet chocolate muffin! They are rich without being overly sweet. The chocolate collagen peptides provide a rich chocolatey flavor as well as a nice chew (replacing gluten).
Depending on your dietary needs and preferences, there are endless ways you can top your chocolate protein pancakes! Swipe up to see a few of my favorites!
