    Pink Pitaya Pancakes with Oat Flour

    Pink Pitaya Pancakes
    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Valentine's day is right around the corner and what better breakfast to celebrate with than romantic pink pitaya pancakes! Pink pitaya pancakes are made naturally pink with pink pitaya powder and other healthy ingredients like oat flour, banana, egg, milk, and avocado oil.

    Make them extra special with some homemade coconut whipped cream and fresh berries!

    Pink Pitaya Pancakes Ingredients

    • Oat flour. I never buy oat flour at the store! Instead, I buy rolled (old fashioned) oats and blend them up in my coffee grinder. Same exact flour, but way cheaper.
    • Baking powder. Baking powder is what makes any pancake recipe fluffier. If you want to make yours even fluffier, simply add more baking powder!
    • Pink sea salt. Pink sea salt is more natural and also contains micro minerals that help your body process salt better.
    • Mashed banana. Make sure to use a super ripe banana in these pancakes if you want it to have a sweet flavor.
    • Egg. I either get my eggs locally, or I buy brown organic eggs at the store.
    • Milk of choice. You can use any type of milk that you want in this recipe. I usually make mine with soy milk.
    • Melted coconut oil or avocado oil. I have tried this recipe with both melted coconut oil and avocado oil. Both work great.
    • Pink pitaya powder.

    Other types of flour you can use in Pink Pitaya Pancakes

    • All Purpose Flour
    • White Wheat Flour
    • 1:1 Gluten Free Flour

    All purpose flour, white wheat flour, and 1:1 gluten free flour can all be substituted directly into this recipe. So for the 1 ½ cup of oat flour this recipe calls for, simply use 1 ½ cup of any of the above flours.

    These are the pink pitaya pancakes that I made with all-purpose flour. The all purpose flour pancakes came out super fluffy!

    pink pitaya pancakes with all purpose flour

    I have not tried making my pink pitaya pancakes with almond flour yet. If you do try to make them with almond flour, I would start substituting out the flour half at a time until you get the consistency and fluffiness that you want. If they come out really flat, you probably need more baking powder because almond flour tends to be really heavy.

    I did not try these with coconut flour yet either. I would start with all of the other ingredients, and then add in the coconut flour until you reach a pancake batter consistency. Coconut flour absorbs a LOT of liquid, so don't add in the flour at a 1:1 ratio. Most times, coconut flour is substituted in at a 1:4 ratio plus an egg. So for every cup of all-purpose flour, you would use ¼ cup coconut flour plus 1 egg.

    How to make Pink Pitaya Pancakes

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 ½ cup oat flour, 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon pink salt.

    Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

    Add ½ mashed banana, 1 egg, 1 cup milk of choice, and 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil. Whisk well to combine. Mix in pink pitaya powder to the color that you want (I used 5 teaspoons).

    Pour by ¼ cup scoops on a heated and oiled skillet.

    Flip when bubbles form across the top.

    Cook till golden brown on the other side.

    Serve with coconut whipped cream, maple syrup, and fresh fruit!

    How to make oat flour:

    If you don't have oat flour, not to worry! You can easily make oat flour from whole old fashioned oats right at home!

    How to store and reheat pancakes

    Store your pink pitaya pancakes in an airtight container or bag. Place either parchment or wax paper between each pancake to prevent them from sticking together.

    Reheat them in the toaster oven to quickly enjoy a warm pancake with a crispy outside!

    These pancakes store really well in the freezer for up to 6 months. Make sure they are in an airtight bag with parchment paper between them if you are freezing them for this long to preserve their freshness.
