Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 3 pre-cooked beetroots
- 250 g gluten-free flour like buckwheat
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 scoop, Vanilla Vega® Essentials

Method
- Soak the flaxseed in 3 Tbsp lukewarm water for 5 minutes. Cut 2 1/2 beetroots into pieces and blend until a smooth puree. Cut the remaining beetroot into small cubes and set aside.
