Ingredients
carrots
1 cup
white whole wheat flour
1.5 cups
baking powder
1 Tbsp
salt
0.5 tsps
ground cinnamon
1 tsp
ground nutmeg
0.25 tsps
ground allspice
1 pinch
butter
4 Tbsps
free range eggs
1
milk
1.5 cups
brown sugar
3 Tbsps
vanilla extract
1 tsp
raisins
0.5 cup
Method
- Peel and grate the carrots. If you end up having more than 1 cup of grated carrots from the 3-4 medium carrots, thats OK, this recipe can easily handle up to 1.5 cups of grated carrots.
- Microwave the grated carrots for 3 minutes on medium, or until the carrots are soft and partially cooked.
- Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients in a bowl until well combined melted butter, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together until almost combined.
- Add the grated carrots and raisins/walnuts if youre using those. Stir until everything is combined, but do not overmix!
- Heat some oil or butter in a skillet. Use heaping tablespoons (or an ice cream scoop!) to add the pancake batter to the pan. Cook about 2-3 minutes on medium/low heat, or until little bubbles start forming at the surface. Flip each pancake, and cook about 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until the inside is fully cooked.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, powdered sugar whatever you want!
