Ingredients
- 1/2 cup beets cooked (70g)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup yogurt plain full fat
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup bananas 1 medium ripe banana
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 3/4 cup oat flour or 1 cup old fashioned oats (blended, see notes)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp coconut oil for greasing the skillet
Instructions
- Add old fashioned oats to a high-speed blender. Blend until the oats become oat flour. Skip this step if using oat flour (see recipe ingredients for adjusted quantities)
- Add the oat flour (or blended oats), all-purpose flour, and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Combine the beets, eggs, yogurt, milk, bananas, maple syrup, and avocado oil in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the pink blender mixture into the flour bowl and whisk until combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add a bit of coconut oil to the pan, and when it is hot, pour the batter into small pancakes (I used 1/3 cup for each pancake). Or use a plastic bottle to shape your desired shape; we love making heart shapes for Valentine's Day.
- Cook until small bubbles form, and you can flip for about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other size for the same amount of time. Set aside cooked pancakes and continue the process until the batter is finished.
Notes
- Cook and peel your beets first: This recipe will not work with raw beets. You need to steam or roast them for the best results. This is a great recipe to use leftover beets or cook them the day before you serve these pancakes.
- Make sure you cook the pancakes using medium-low heat, or they will burn on the outside and look brownish rather than pink. This will ensure that they are fully cooked in the middle.
