Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons beetroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond milk (dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground oats, protein powder, beetroot powder, and baking powder. Whisk them together until evenly mixed, ensuring the beetroot powder is fully incorporated for consistent color.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. This liquid mixture balances the mild earthiness from the beetroot and adds sweetness and moisture.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your pancakes fluffy and tender.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour batter onto the skillet in ¼ cup portions. Cook about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Stack your Pink Protein Pancakes high and add your preferred garnishes and sides for a beautiful, nutritious breakfast feast.

Notes

  • Use fresh beetroot powder for the brightest color and richest antioxidants.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes airy and soft.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan for easy flipping and no sticking.
