Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cassava flour, baking powder, sea salt, and nutritional yeast. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Add the shredded vegan cheese to the dry ingredients and mix until the cheese is evenly coated with flour.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar until fully combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture. Stir with a spatula until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to hold its shape.
Using your hands, take about 2 tablespoons of dough and shape it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your vegan and gluten-free Pan de Yuca warm.
