Pink Pancakes

My kids love sweet pancakes. So, I keep trying to make pancakes with added nutrition and flavors. I decided that this time I will change color of the pancakes. When my son saw the pancakes, his reaction was - "pink pancakes?? What??" When they ate it, they liked the pancakes. When I asked my younger one - "What color pancakes you want next time?" He said - "Blue!!"

 

Pink Pancake (Beetroot Pancake)

 

Ingredients:

 

1 cup Brown Rice Flour

1 Egg

1/4 cup Beetroot Puree (See Notes Below)

1 tsp Flaxseed Meal

1 cup Almond Milk

1 tbsp Honey

 

Method: 

1. In one medium sized bowl, beat the egg. Mix beetroot puree and milk in it.
2. Add rice flour, flaxseed meal and honey to the mix and make it a smooth batter.
3. Add more milk or more rice flour to make batter thick enough to make pancakes. Put the batter aside for 15 minutes.
4. Heat the non-stick pan and spread pancake batter on the pan. Put a little oil and cook the pancake both sides.
5. Serve hot with honey or jam.

Notes - To make beetroot puree, I chopped beetroot in very small pieces and steamed it for 10 minutes. When it is soft, I blend all pieces in blender to make puree.
