a quarter-cup of maple syrup is high in minerals

a 60 ml serving of maple syrup has 100 percent of your suggested daily allowance of manganese, as well at 37 percent of riboflavin, 18 percent of zinc, 7 percent of magnesium, and 5 percent of calcium and potassium. and above that, the antioxidant levels are comparable to a banana or a serving of broccoli.

HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY BEETROOT PANCAKE RECIPE

boil the beetroot in a pressure cooker with 2 tablespoons of water and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles. turn off the heat and allow it to cool.

drain the water and allow it to cool. add the cooked beetroot to the mixer and extract into a smooth puree.

now add the wheat and plain flour, baking powder, egg, milk, curd, butter and jaggery. blend it all into a thick smooth batter.

add one teaspoon of vanilla extract for that awesome aroma.

pour the healthy beetroot pancake batter into a mixing bowl and set aside for 10 minutes. adjust the consistency to be neither too thick nor thin.

you can even pour the batter into a piping bottle and make your own artistic pancakes.

heat a pan or griddle and drizzle some butter, pour a ladle full of beetroot pancake batter and do not spread. cook on medium flame until bubbles form on top.

i made the pancakes in a heartshaped mould and also cut some with a cookie cutter.

now, carefully flip the beetroot pancake and cook till done. remove from pan and repeat for remaining batter.

once your healthy beetroot pancake recipe is ready, serve it warm.

finally, transfer the beetroot pancakes onto a serving plate, dust some powdered sugar and add fresh fruits. drizzle honey or maple juice liberally.
