Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups Rolled oats Use certified gluten-free oats if needed
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine salt
  • 2 Eggs Can substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek yogurt Swap for applesauce for a dairy-free alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Cooked beets Roast for deeper flavor
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce Can substitute with mashed ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Neutral oil More for the skillet

Equipment

  • high-speed blender
  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Prepare Oat Flour: In a high-speed blender, combine rolled oats, baking powder, and fine salt. Blend on high until it becomes a fine flour—about 30 seconds.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the cooked beets, eggs, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and unsweetened applesauce to the oat flour. Blend until smooth and creamy for 1-2 minutes, achieving a vibrant pink hue.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the oat mixture into the blender with wet ingredients and blend briefly until combined. Stir gently to ensure no flour remains at the bottom.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve: Serve warm with toppings such as fresh berries, yogurt, or maple syrup. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or freeze for later.
