Keep it simple:
Ingredients:
4 beets
3 ripe bananas
2 eggs
3 cup rolled oats (do not use quick oats or steal cut oats)
1/2 cup ground flax seed
2-3 Tbs of honey
splash of milk if needed

Roast the Beets:
Roasting beets are super easy! Wash the beets and cut off the leafy part. Wrap the beets in foil and bake on 400 degrees for 1 1/2 hours... Let cool, then the skin will peel right off. Cut into smaller pieces and puree in food processor. Set aside

Pancake Mix:
puree the bananas
add all other ingredients and puree until smooth. Add the beets back in and puree.
Heat griddle and pour. Top with a honey and blueberries.
