Chubby Pink Pancakes

I didn’t post a breakfast recipe for a while. I don’t know exactly why but I have these weird thoughts about making something pink for quite a long time. So here it is, chubby pink pancakes!

For these pink pancakes skip soem unnatural colouring. All you need to use is juice from beetroot! Because beetroot juice is such a string natural colouring, plus it tastes sweet, it’s great for pancakes! Haven’t you tried it before? You should after reading this recipe!

For some reason, these chubby pancakes remind me of cozzy Sunday morning. Maybe we all should have beautiful breakfast like this on lazy Sunday mornings!

We usually don’t have time to make ourselves a perfect and nourishing breakfast on weekday mornings. One more reason to enjoy these pancakes at least on Sunday mornings!!

The trick how to make the pancakes fluffier is ery easy. When you make the pancake batter, let it rest for 10 minutes. The batter will have time to get bigger and fluffier!

Also, if you use self-raising gluten-free flour you make the batter rise more. I really love this self-raising flour. Not only because is gluten-free but it has never disappointed me. Anytime I use it to make something very yummy (like these Cherry cupcakes with perfect chocolate ganache!) it came out amazing!

I usually prefer using natural colouring than artifical and chemical colours. If you don’t know it, beetroot juice is an amazing antural colouring if you want to achieve a perfect pink colour!

If you want to achieve darker shade, add about 1/4 cup beetroot juice. If you want a really fade pink hade, add about 1 tbsp beetroot juice or even less!

To top these pink pancakes, use your favourite toppings. It can be anything – fresh berries, plant-based yoghurt (vanilla flavoured coconut yoghurt is very good), dairy-free chocolate chips, sugar stars,pomegranate seeds or fresh berries. Drizzle with 100% maple syrup.
