If you are looking for something a bit different for breakfast, try these pancakes! With the cream cheese spread, the flavor is similar to carrot cake. Delicious!

This is the recipe I make when I want to treat my wife to a great breakfast. They taste just like her carrot cake recipe. The only thing I would change is to make more cream cheese spread than the recipe calls for.

    I had forgotten how naturally sweet carrots are-I don't think they really need any additional sugar! But I added a small amt of Splenda into mine & now regret it & will probably just omit it next time. I will also downgrade on the cinn (used nutmeg for the ginger) so that the flavors blend bttter. I used whole wheat flour & sorry, I didn't have a chance to make the spread; just syrup-very yummy. Thick, too-make sure these are cooked all the way through!

    After my 5 year old had 2 bites he looked up and said "This is a 5 star recipe, mom!" I love that the pancakes themselves have no oil and therefore no fat but the egg. I used whole wheat patry flour for the white and unmilled cane sugar for the sugar. The pancakes were plenty sweet but the cream cheese glaze is divine and lifts these to the level of a decadent breakfast without, really, being that bad for you. This all comes together quite easily if you have a food processor. I shredded the carrots in mine and then rinsed it out to make the cream cheese frosting. My only caveat to this recipe is that we found that you need to make the pancakes quite thin. If you make them thicker the middles never get quite done though they still taste great. Thanks Kristen! This one is great!

    Great pancake recipe! I did alter it a bit. I used 1/4 t. nutmeg, 1/4 c. brown sugar, and added 1/4 c. raisins. Next time I'm going to lessen the amount of ginger to 1/8 t. We didn't use the spread either, just some maple syrup and powdered sugar. My kids loved it! (I got 9 pancakes from this recipe)
