Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Responsible for leavening.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine Salt Enhances flavor.
  • 2 large Large Eggs Binds ingredients and adds richness.
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Substitute with unsweetened applesauce for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Cooked Beets (peeled) Adjust amount based on taste.
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce Can be replaced with mashed ripe banana.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Adjust based on preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Neutral Oil Used for cooking.

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by blending rolled oats with baking powder and fine salt in a high-speed blender for about 30 seconds until it resembles a fine flour.
  2. In the same blender, combine large eggs, plain Greek yogurt, pure vanilla extract, cooked beets, unsweetened applesauce, and maple syrup. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Add the oat flour mixture back into the blended wet ingredients and blend on low speed for about 30 seconds until fully incorporated.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of neutral oil. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the pancakes from the skillet, serve warm, and top with fresh berries, maple syrup, or Greek yogurt as desired.
