    My kids love pancakes and I am always trying out new recipes for them. We love these buckwheat pancakes and these made with multigrain flour.

    But these pretty and delicious vegan red velvet pancakes are our favorite. They are 100% vegan and do not have any added artificial color or flavor.

    So what makes these pancakes red, you ask?? The color comes from powdered beets aka beet root powder. But you can use pureed roasted or boiled beets instead - check the Tips section.

    These kid friendly red velvet pancakes are soft, fluffy, chocolaty and absolutely delicious. Top them with coconut whipped cream, strawberries and some chocolate sauce for an awesome Valentine's day treat.

    Ingredients

    Here are the main ingredients needed to make these healthy(ish) red velvet pancakes:

    Dry Ingredients:

    • Flour - I use whole-wheat pastry to make this recipe. But you can use all purpose flour or a 50:50 combination of all purpose and whole-wheat flours
    • Unsweetened cocoa powder
    • Baking powder
    • Powdered Beets
    • Sugar & salt
    Ingredients needed - details in recipe card

    Wet Ingredients:

    • Non dairy milk - I use almond or oat milk. If not vegan, use dairy milk
    • Apple cider vinegar
    • Oil
    • Vanilla extract
    • Egg replacer powder - ground flaxseed meal would work great. If not vegan, use 1 large egg.

    Instructions

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt and powdered beets,. Mix well.

    Dry ingredients being added to a bowl.

    Combine almond milk and vinegar; set aside for 5 minutes. Stir in oil, vanilla extract, egg replace mixture and mix well.

    Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add water if the batter seems too thick.

    Mixing wet ingredients to dry ingredients to make pancake batter.

    Heat a griddle on medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Pour about ¼ cup of batter on the griddle per pancake and cook till bubbles start to form on the surface, about 1~2 minutes. Gently flip and cook for another 1 minute.

    Remove and keep the pancakes warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with berries, coconut whipped cream and vegan chocolate syrup.

    Tips

    • You can use all or a combination of whole wheat pastry, all purpose, whole wheat flours in this recipe.
    • Use any non-dairy or dairy milk in the recipe.
    • Substitute beet powder with ¼ cup of cooked (steamed or roasted) beet puree.
    • Instead of making these beetroot powder pancakes, you can make good old red velvet pancakes by adding food color. Add about 2 teaspoons of red food color to the wet ingredients. If it seems too pale, add a little it more.
    • Leftover pancakes can be frozen for up to 2 months. Let them cool completely before wrapping them in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Place them in freezer-safe Ziploc bag and save for later.

      Such sinful looking red velvet pancakes and love that they are vegan. I don't make pancakes as much just because of the eggs, will try this recipe with boiled beets.
