Method
 

Waffle Preparation
  1. Prep the Beet: Roast the medium cooked beet at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes or steam until fork-tender. Let it cool, then peel off the skin.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Combine the beet, banana, flax eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and milk in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the beet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  5. Cook Waffles: Preheat waffle iron and lightly grease if necessary. Pour batter into the iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the waffles, let them cool slightly, and serve with toppings of your choice.
