¾ cup plain Greek yogurt

2 cups fresh cranberries

1 jar Square Baby Beet Berry

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Add in the coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and yogurt.

4. Pour the egg mixture into the batter until mix.

5. Add Square Baby's Beets Berry puree and mix until combined. Fold in cranberries.

Try these substitutions or modifications:

- Instead of white flour, try whole wheat flour (or both) for extra fiber!

- Don’t like cranberries? Add in your favorite berry. We love blueberries or strawberries!

- Reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup from ¾ cup to ½ cup.

Fun Square Food Fact:

Betanin is one of the main plant compounds found in beetroots. It's also called, "beetroot red," which is notably responsible for its strong red color. Beets are a great source of nutrients including fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C.

They can be eaten raw, but most people cook or pickle beets. Their leaves, known as “beet greens” can also be eaten!
