Step-by-Step Instructions for Pink Beet Pancakes
- Start by placing rolled oats, baking powder, and fine salt in a blender. Blend on high until the oats are finely ground into a flour-like consistency, about 30 seconds. Transfer the oat flour mixture into a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
- In the same blender, combine the cooked beets, large eggs, neutral oil, plain Greek yogurt, pure vanilla extract, unsweetened applesauce, and maple syrup. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the blended beet mixture into the bowl containing the oat flour mixture. Gently stir until just combined, using a spatula to fold the ingredients together.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a drizzle of neutral oil to prevent sticking. Spoon dollops of batter to form small pancakes, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to dry, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
