Ingredients

• 2 cups yuca (cassava) flour
• 0.5 cup tapioca starch
• 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 servings egg replacer equivalent to 2 eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine yuca flour, tapioca starch, grated vegan cheddar cheese, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, olive oil, and prepared egg replacer until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Once the dough is well mixed, take small portions (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls using your hands. If the dough is too sticky, you can lightly flour your hands with yuca flour to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one to allow for slight expansion.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy these dairy-free Pan de Yuca warm or at room temperature.
