1/4 cup plain coconut or almond yogurt
4 oz. vegan cream cheese

Pancakes

Coconut oil for cooking
1/4 cup pureed beets or natural red food colouring
3 tbsp. maple syrup
1 medium ripe banana mashed
1 prepared flax egg
2/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 cup plain coconut or almond yogurt
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

Flax Egg

2 tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tbsp. flax

Method

01

In a small ramekin, mix together the flax with the almond milk and sit in the fridge to set up for an hour.
02

Once it reaches a gloopy egg-like consistency, mix together the dry ingredients of the pancakes. Then add in all of the wet ingredients including the beets. If you're using food coloring, you can omit this until everything is incorporated, then add your food coloring and mix until it reaches your desired color.
03

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add in a little coconut oil. Add 1/4 cup of batter in a circle and cook until golden brown on both sides.
04

Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese, yogurt, lemon, maple, and vanilla until well incorporated and transfer to a piping bag.
05

Stack the pancakes with a generous layer of the cream cheese yogurt and top with chocolate, pomegranate arils, and maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
