Pink Pancakes

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

You'll love these Pink Pancakes! Beets give them a beautiful pink hue and make them great for Valentine's Day! Add your favorite topping and serve them for breakfast or brunch.

  • Total Time30 minutes
  • Yield20-22 pancakes 1x
  • DietGluten Free

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 100g peeled cooked beets (1 medium beet)
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (plus more for cooking)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (plus more for serving)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use Bob’s Redmill 1:1 gluten-free flour)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • Avocado oil or butter for cooking
  • Toppings: maple syrup, nut butter, butter, berries, yogurt, hemp seeds

Instructions

  1. Into a high-speed blender add almond milk, eggs, cooked beets, avocado oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. 
  2. Blend on high until completely smooth and pink.
  3. In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  4. Pour in half of the blended liquid ingredients, whisk, pour in the rest, and whisk again until just mixed. Don’t overmix the batter.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a knob of butter or oil and lower the heat to medium.
  6. Form 3-4 pancakes (approx. 2 tbsp of batter per pancake) and cook for 2 minutes until slightly set on the edges and bubbles start to form on top.
  7. Flip and cook for another minute or until lightly browned on both sides.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter and add more butter or oil as needed. You may need to use a paper towel to wipe any burnt butter from the pan.
  9. Serve the pancakes with toppings of your choice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep your pancakes warm: Preheat your oven to 210F (100C) and keep the pancakes on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish in a single layer in the oven until you finish cooking the rest.
  • Storing: Store any leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days and warm up in the oven at 350F (175C). You can also store them in the freezer in a freezer-safe container or a bag. Defrost in the fridge overnight or in the oven at the same temperature.
