Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 banana
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ medium beet
  • 2 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Peel the beet. You could use some reusable gloves because your hands may get very red from the beets. Once peeled, cut in quarters and pop into a blender.
  • Blend all the ingredients. Place the beets, oats, eggs, and bananas plus 2 tablespoon of water in a blender and blend until smooth. I have used this low-cost blender and have also used this amazing Vitamix which is the best machine ever (especially for batters, smoothies, and soups)
  • Check the consistency, it should be of a loose puree. If it is too loose add more flour, if too dense add a bit more water.
  • Cook. Heat the saucepan on medium heat and add a tablespoon of coconut oil. Once the coconut oil has melted pour about 2 tablespoons of batter to the pan and cook for several minutes, or until small bubbles start appearing on the surface.
  • Flip the pancake over and cook for 1-2 minutes until finished
  • Serve with some fruit, yogurt and nut butter.
