I was worried that I needed to cook the carrotts ahead of time, but I blended it all really well and it was fine. my kids loved them, they love carrots, but i m not even really sure they could tell.

yummy- i wasn't sure if the butter was supposed to be melted or not- i just chucked the cube in without melting. i substituted 1 cup white flour with 1 cup mostly whole wheat flour and a little flax seed meal. then i had to add more milk, maybe another 1/4 cup. i like these and the kids are eating them. i can't tell if i'm tasting the baking powder or the nutmeg but there is something subtle there. we are putting applesauce and yogurt on them and they are delish!

Oh wow! If you guys are looking for something that's a great change of pace, you have got to try this recipe! These were moist, tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!!! The batter was a light orange color, but they cooked up a lovely harvest golden color. I was already half-way through mixing them up when I realized that I'd used up all of my nutmeg this week and forgot to buy more when I got groceries Friday night, so I added a pinch of allspice instead (for anyone wondering, no, allspice is not a combination spice--it is in the pimento family, with a taste somewhat like that of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves combined). I also used a half teaspoon of cinnamon, but I think as much as we love cinnamon, I could have used up to a teaspoon and been fine. We had these as a late brunch with smoked link sausages, orange juice, milk and maple syrup. I suspect they would also be good with sorghum. love4culinary, thank you for sharing a winning pancake recipe. Even DH says he definitely wants to have these again!

GREAT pancakes! No one guessed there were carrots in there and it got 5 stars from everyone, even DH (the pancake king!) I substituted 1/2 the regular flour with oat flour and they cooked up nice and light and melt-in-your-mouth just like Cindy Lynn said.
