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.

Excellent! These were light & fluffy and rich tasting. My family gobbled these up and had no clue that there were carrots in them. These were not only a good way to add some veggies to your meal, but were also great tasting pancakes.

We have pancakes for supper at least once/month. Your recipe was outstanding. The pancakes were light and tender with an unexpected beautiful color. I use 1/2 t. each of cinnamon and nutmeg. I was afraid of overdoing it but think I will add a little more next time. Topped with a little butter and maple syrup. Family and I thank you for sharing your recipe.

I really enjoyed these pancakes. They were incredibly filling, and I could only eat one large one. I think I added a little too much nutmeg, will try less next time. Oh, they heat up very nicely wrapped in paper towels.

This was an enjoyable change. I thought the carrot taste was a bit intense, but perhaps that was b/c my carrots were larger, or b/c we had carrot souffle last night. First of all, I melted the butter, although instructions did not specify that. I chopped the carrots in my little chopper, then added them to my blender. My 4 fairly large carrots made 2 cups, packed, of carrot pcs. When I added them to the blender, they mixed up so quickly that I wonder if I had needed to chop them so small first. But with just this much in my blender, it was full, so I transferred the mixture to a deep mixing bowl to add the remaining ingredients. I was pleased, too, at the nice browning that occurred while cooking, but my husband still asked about the "orange pancakes". I added a few chopped pecans to the pancakes before flipping, and they added wonderful flavor. I agree that only pure maple syrup should be enjoyed with these pancakes; it was a nice flavor compliment. If I make them again, I will try subbing 1/2 whole wheat flour and honey for the sugar.
