Yummy Carrot Pancakes

These pancakes are so yummy and a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. We have made them 2x now and I really like them and so do the boys. It makes plenty so that we have leftovers for a snack later. This recipe is from Recipezaar.com

Carrot Breakfast Pancakes

Ingredients

  1. 1 3/4 cups milk
  2. 2 eggs
  3. 1/4 cup butter
  4. 4 medium carrots, chopped
  5. 2 cups flour
  6. 2 tablespoons baking powder
  7. 1 teaspoon salt
  8. 4 tablespoons sugar
  9. 2 dashes nutmeg
  10. 2 dashes cinnamon (For cinnamon & nutmeg, I'm very generous with both, but be careful not to add too much)

Directions

  1. First you will need to get your blender out!
  2. Pour Milk into blender; add eggs and butter.
  3. Mix briefly to put egg and butter through milk.
  4. Add carrots and blend well (until carrots are completely mixed through; no chunks left!!) Add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar; mix in blender until all ingredients are mixed through.
  5. Then add nutmeg and cinnamon and mix for about 1 minute.
  6. Check thickness; if you feel it is too thin, add a little more flour (Tbs or 2) Spray frying pan with cooking spray.
  7. Heat to medium heat, and cook pancakes.
  8. Make them whatever size you wish!
  9. Cook until golden brown.
  10. They will be a beautiful golden color!
  11. Enjoy them with a small amount of pure maple syrup!

Do you think using whole wheat flour would work? They sound fabulous. I'm always looking for something new for breakfast (or dinner for that matter!)

Who would of thought to put carrots into pancakes? Maybe we could try it with rice milk so Michael can eat them. They sound yummy.

I have used whole wheat flour and loved it. I think that the rice milk would work just fine, you could also substitute the butter with oil to make them dairy free. They are really easy and so yummy. Enjoy!
