Wrap beets in foil and roast at 425 degrees for an hour. Let cool pull off skin. Put beets in a food processor add water to achieve the consistency you want. Add 1/3 Cup of beet puree to the pancake mix add more to achieve the color you would like.
Yogurt Parfait with Strawberry and Granola
In a wide mouth jar or bowl add yogurt (make sure you read the ingredients to avoid added sugar and ingredients). Layer with granola of your choice. Then add berries. I used strawberries but feel free to use what you have or like.
