Carrot Breakfast Pancakes

Tasty breakfast, and nice to get in some veggies early. Like some others, I added a bit of allspice and clove for a nice spicy blend, and used whole wheat flour. It made a thick batter, and my kitchen smelled wonderful as it was cooking. I can imagine also adding to it — dried fruits or nuts could be a nice addition. A heads up - I reduced the recipe and ended up with too much baking powder (and a bit of a bitter taste as a result). But I'll be making this one again in the future, just with a tad less baking powder.

These are really moist and delicious and a great way to get more veggies in. I think my carrots were too large because this recipe did not fit in my 6 cup blender. After the carrots were blended I had to transfer it to a mixing bowl to add the dry ingredients. I added an extra 1/4 cup of milk to make the batter more pourable (probably was too stiff due to the large carrots). I spiced mine up a bit by adding a bit of ground allspice and ground cloves to the cinnamon. I made 20 4" pancakes using 1/4 cup of batter for each.

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.
