Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup pink pitaya puree
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Fresh berries, for serving
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Greek yogurt, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a blender, combine milk, egg, pitaya puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and vibrant pink.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Some small lumps are fine.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the hot surface to form pancakes.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden on the bottom and cooked through.
  9. Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  10. Serve warm with fresh berries, maple syrup, and a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • For the brightest pink color, make sure to use pink pitaya (dragon fruit), not white.
  • Frozen pitaya puree packets work perfectly and are available in most grocery stores.
  • The pancakes can be frozen for up to 2 months – simply reheat in the toaster or microwave.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
