Red Velvet Pancakes

It's Valentine's day! I was up early because i was so excited to make this. Few days ago I stumbled across chocolatecoveredkatie's and blogilates's blog and both of them posted about Secretly Healthy Red Velvet Cupcake and Healthy Red Velvet Cupcakes and Pancakes for Valentine's day recipe. I was inspired by both of this recipe and created my version of Red Velvet Pancakes. I shared it with my family members and everyone was pleased with the gorgeous velvet red colour and of course the taste!

In case you didn't realize today is also the valentine's day from the Chinese! It's called 'Chap Goh Mei'. It means the last day of the Chinese New Year. Awesome!
