Pink Beet Pancakes

Step 1

Combine oats, baking powder, and salt to a high-speed blender. Blend until oats become a fine powder.

Step 2

Pour the oat flour mixture into a bowl and set aside.

Step 3

In the now empty blender, combine remaining ingredients ( beets, egg, oil, yogurt, vanilla, syrup, applesauce). Blend until smooth and well combined. Add the oat flour mixture into the blender and blend again. Stop a few times to scrape the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well mixed.

Step 4

Heat a pan or other skillet over medium-low heat. Add a little cooking oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, portion out the batter into small pancakes.

Step 5

Cook until you see small bubbles forming on the top of the pancake and the edges seem dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Place cooked pancakes onto a plate and continue with the remaining batter.

Step 6

Enjoy warm with topping of choice. Let cool completely before storing leftovers in an air-tight container in fridge for 4-5 days or in freezer.
