Recipe: Beet Pancakes

Eating healthy can be extremely difficult especially when you’re following the very strict paleo diet. I’ve been experimenting with different breakfast options, including PANCAKES. Yes, I’ve found a very simple recipe for gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, pancakes. They’re sweet, taste like “real” pancakes, and they’re pink! The original recipe was extremely basic, so I added my own twist to it: delicious and very nutritious beets!


Ingredients:
1 small beet
1 organic egg
1 plantain
1 tsp cardamom
coconut oil
Optional: local maple syrup
Tools:
high speed blender (NutriBullet, Vitamix) pan
spatula
spoon
STEP ONE: Put all ingredients besides the coconut oil in a high speed blender, such as a NutriBullet and blend until smooth. If you don’t already have a NutriBullet or something similar, go out and buy one because it will change your life.


STEP TWO: Heat coconut oil in the pan on medium heat.
STEP THREE: Place two tablespoons of pancake mixture onto the pan and flip when you see bubbles/steam (you know when to flip pancakes). It should come out a dark pink color. Add more coconut oil as needed. Continue until you run out of mixture.

STEP FOUR: This is barely a step. Drizzle some local, real maple syrup on your pancakes and enjoy! Yep, it’s that easy!
