Ingredients

• 50 ml Milk
  Swaps (2)
• 25 g Butter
  Swaps (2)
• 3 Egg
  Swaps (2)
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 200 g Self-raising Flour
  Swaps (1)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
• 100 g Greek Yogurt
  Swaps (2)
• 3 Beetroot
• 200 g Frozen Mixed Berries
• 2 tablespoons Blackcurrant Jam

Instructions

1. 1

   Put the beetroot in a jug with the milk and blend with a stick blender until smooth. Pour into a bowl with the rest of the pancake ingredients and whisk until smooth and vibrant purple.

2. 2

   Put a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan and heat over a medium-low heat until melted and foamy. Now create 3 or 4 pancakes each made from 2 tbsp of the batter. Cook for 2-3 mins then flip over and cook for a further minute until cooked through. Repeat with any remaining batter. Heat oven to lowest setting and keep the pancakes warm in there until needed.

3. 3

   Serve with your favourite pancake toppings or make a simple compote by simmering frozen berries in with 1 tbsp blackcurrant jam until bubbling and syrupy (about 5-10 mins). In a small bowl stir together the remaining jam and the yogurt. Stack the cooked pancakes with the yogurt and pour the warm berry compote over the top.
