Pink Heart Beet Pancakes Recipe: Make Their Hearts Beet Faster on Valentine's Day With This Healthy Pancake Recipe Holidays Breakfast

Everyone loves pancakes! Surprise your sweethearts with this healthy beet pancake recipe on Valentine's Day. The recipe is from Pancakes Make People Happy by Sharon Collins, Charlotte Collins and Courtney Wade

You'll need: 

• 1 medium to large beet, boiled and peeled
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• oil, for greasing
• heavy cream, for topping (optional)
• strawberries, for topping (optional)

Here's how to make them:

1. In a blender, puree beet with milk until smooth. Add egg, butter, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Blend to combine. Add flour, baking powder and salt to the mixture. Pulse to combine (try not to over blend).
2. Heat a griddle over medium heat and grease with oil or butter. Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into your heart mold or onto the griddle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until small bubbles start to form on the top and the edges firm up.
3. Remove heart mold carefully before flipping or flip the regular pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the pancakes are cooked through. If using the mold, don’t worry if it doesn’t come off perfect, you can use a spatula or knife to trim the edges a bit.
4. Repeat for the remaining batter. If serving with whipped cream, beat heavy cream until thick and dollop on pancakes with a few berries.
