Vegan and Gluten-Free Recipes for a Healthy Diet

Gluten-Free Pancake

Ingredients

• 1 cup of gluten-free oat flour
• 1 cup of yam
• ¼ cup of cassava starch
• 1 cup of water
• 1 tablespoon of flaxseed flour
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon of salt

Preparation
First, peel the yam, cut it into small pieces, and put it in a blender. Also, add water, oil, and flaxseed flour. Blend everything well for 3 minutes until you get a homogeneous mixture.

Then, transfer to a bowl and add the cassava starch, oat flour, and salt. Mix well again until smooth.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, no need to grease. Pour the batter and spread it like a regular pancake. It shouldn’t be too thick, or it might remain raw inside. When it starts to come off the skillet, flip it with a spatula and let it brown on the other side.

Repeat this process until all the batter is used. Then fill it with your preferred filling. It’s an excellent option for a balanced diet.
