Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole yogurt
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 tablespoon beetroot powder
Instructions
- In a bowl, add yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, maple syrup and olive oil. Whisk to combine.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and beetroot powder.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking.
- Cook on medium heat on a non-stick pan or griddle. Brush pan lightly with olive oil and let the olive oil warm up before pouring in the batter.
- When the edges look dry and bubbles appear, turn the pancakes over. Note to turn them over as soon as they are cooked enough. Otherwise, they can turn brown and you lose the lovely pink colour.
- Serve with fresh strawberries and maple syrup if desired.
