Beetroot gives buckwheat pancakes a pretty and enticing pink colour. These buckwheat pancakes are a great way to encourage your little princesses (and princes!) to eat beetroot and to increase their intake of vegetables, even at breakfast. These buckwheat pancakes are gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. They are full of plant based goodies including almond milk and flax seeds and sweetened only with pear and a little coconut palm sugar.
These yummy buckwheat pancakes are sweet enough on their own, so you do not need to pour lashings of honey or maple syrup over them. You can sprinkle on some hemp seeds, berries and pomegranate seeds to make these pancakes a wonderfully delicious and satisfying breakfast. You can also serve them cold and pop them in your child’s lunch box or include them in a picnic when you are out and about.
