Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 3/4 cup grated carrots
- butter or olive oil for cooking
- For garnish: toasted coconut, chopped walnuts
Optional maple cream cheese topping
- 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium bowl stir together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- In a small bowl whisk together egg, milk, butter and maple syrup.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Then gently stir in carrots. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
- When you're ready to start cooking, heat a large non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add a dollop or butter or drizzle of oil and add pancake batter 1/3 cup at a time. Cook pancakes for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and tiny bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes. Then flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes more.
- If using, mix together 1/2 cup softened cream cheese with 1 tbsp maple syrup.
- Serve pancakes with butter, maple syrup, maple cream cheese, walnuts and/or toasted coconut.
Notes
- Can I make these pancakes gluten free? Yes! Just use gluten free 1:1 flour and gluten free rolled oats. Depending on your gluten free flour blend, you may need up to 1-2 tbsp more 1:1 flour if you find the batter is not quite thick enough. Adjust as you see fit.
