Carrot Cake Pancakes Recipe
✅Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup buttermilk (or substitute: ¾ cup milk + 2 tsp vinegar/lemon juice)
1 large egg
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup finely grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
¼ cup crushed pineapple, drained (optional, adds moisture and flavor)
2 tbsp shredded coconut (optional)
For Cream Cheese Glaze (Optional but Recommended):
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for drizzling consistency)
½ tsp vanilla extract
✅Instructions:
1. Prepare the batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently just until combined (don’t overmix).
Fold in the grated carrots, nuts, pineapple, and coconut if using.
2. Cook the pancakes:
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
3. Make the cream cheese glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and drizzleable. Add more milk as needed.
4. Serve:
Stack the pancakes, drizzle with cream cheese glaze, and top with extra nuts or a dusting of cinnamon if desired.
