Pink Pancakes for the Morning After

Pink Pancakes? Yup, these fruity, beet pancakes are spiked with kefir, which makes for a remarkably full bodied, fluffy and fruity cake. It’s not a bad way to start your Valentine’s Day morning. Detox + probiotics + deliciousness. I recommend topping them with some fruit and dark maple syrup.

Ingredients

• AP Flour - 1 cup
• Baking Powder - 3/4 tsp
• Salt - 1/4 tsp
• Egg - 1 egg
• Raspberry Kefir - 1 cup
• Vanilla Extract - 1/2 tsp
• Raw Red Beet - 1/2 each
• Coconut Oil - 1 tbsp + Some for cooking

Method
Blend all ingredients until silky smooth! Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil and pour batter into the pan, making pancakes as big as you want!
