  • 2 Eggs Can substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Can replace with applesauce for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, add rolled oats, baking powder, and fine salt. Blend until a fine flour forms, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  2. In the blender, combine cooked beets, eggs, yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, applesauce, and oil. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the oat flour mixture back into the blender and blend until fully integrated, scraping sides as needed.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes. Lightly oil the skillet.
  5. Pour portions of batter into the skillet, cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite toppings or store leftovers in an airtight container.
