carrot cake pancakes recipe

Aside from being so delicious, carrot cake pancakes are dairy-free and gluten-free, and are naturally sweetened and packed with tasty blends like raisins and walnuts. For additional flavor, just sprinkle the pancakes with almond butter, yogurt, cream cheese, or maple syrup for a convenient delicious breakfast.

The Step-by-Step Method

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce (buy here)
  • 1/3 cup of your preferred milk (buy here)
  • One teaspoon of vanilla extract (buy here)
  • 2 eggs
  • One tablespoon of maple syrup (alternatively, honey or coconut sugar) (buy here)
  • One and a half cups of rolled oats (buy here)
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder (buy here)
  • One teaspoon of cinnamon powder (buy here)
  • ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg (buy here)
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt

Mixture:

  • One cup of grated carrots (grated with a cheese grater)
  • 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts (you can also use pecans)
  • 3 tablespoons of raisins

For cooking:

  • Olive or coconut oil

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients (except carrots, raisins, and walnuts) to a blender. For about 30 seconds to 1 minute, blend on high speed until completely smooth.
  • Then, add carrots, raisins, and chopped walnuts (remember not to blend these additional ingredients).
  • Coat a skillet with olive or coconut oil and place it over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, put in about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake. Use a spoon to spread it slightly in circles.
  • Cook for 2 to 4 minutes until the pancakes are slightly puffy and you see some bubbles along the edges.
  • Flip the cake over and cook until golden brown on the bottom. If you feel that the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat. You can start on medium heat, then reduce to medium heat so your pancakes don’t burn. Keep in mind, if at any time your pan starts to smoke, that means your pan is too hot.
  • Cook your pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Wipe the pan and repeat with more oil until the batter is gone.
  • Serving time! Serve it with your favorite toppings.
