This is from Jessica Seinfeld's Cookbook, "Deceptively Delicious". These taste surpringly good, and I couldnt taste the beets. Mark and Logan loved them too!
Im hoping to replace these with Logan's favorite frozen pancakes.
Ingredients
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup beet, pureed*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup pancake mix
1/4 cup grated apple
nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
pure maple syrup
fresh fruit (optional)
powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
1. In a blender or food processor, combine the water, ricotta cheese, beet puree, vanilla, and cinnamon.
2. Dump the cheese mixture into a medium bowl, add the pancake mix and apple. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix, you want the batter to be lumpy.
3. Coat a griddle with nonstick spray and heat to medium high. Add 1/2 tsp vegetable oil. Use 1/4 cup of batter at a time and pour out pancakes. When you see bubbles start to form, it is time to flip the pancake. If the bottom is too brown, turn the heat down. It should take about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
4. Serve warm, garnish with maple syrup, fresh fruit, and powdered sugar.
About cooking & pureeing beets:
Wash, trim stems to 1" and leave whole. Wrap in foil and roast at 400 degrees for one hour.
After beets are cool, peel and place in a blender or processor for about 2 mins.
OR you can buy canned beets, and puree them straight from the can!
