Notes
- Make sure you use cooked beetroots. You can cook them ahead of time, either by steaming or baking. Raw beetroots will give your pancakes a bitter/earthy flavor.
- Cook these pancakes over low heat to keep the beautiful vibrant color. It will take a bit longer to cook but the results will be worth it!
- Feel free to experiment with any flour of your choice instead of oat.
- You can use any choice of milk.
- Use any sweetener you like in place of maple syrup and stevia. You can add up to 20 drops to taste.
- Use any toppings you like! Some suggestions are: butter, maple syrup, fresh fruits, lightly sweetened yogurt, nut butter or dark chocolate chips.
