Beetroot & Oat Pancakes

Vibrant pink pancakes made with grated beetroot, oats, and egg. Beetroot provides folate, iron, and manganese — nutrients critical for rapid growth at 6 months. The natural sweetness from the beetroot means no added sugar is needed. These colorful pancakes encourage food exploration and are easy for baby to hold.
Ingredients
- 1 medium Raw Beetroot
- 60 grams Rolled Oats
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

- Peel the beetroot and finely grate it. You should have about 1/2 cup of grated beetroot.
- In a bowl, blend or process the oats into a coarse flour.
- Beat the egg and combine with the grated beetroot, oat flour, and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Mix until a thick batter forms. If too thick, add a tiny splash of water.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat with a small amount of butter.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the pan. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until set and lightly golden.
