Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (240 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g)
- Maple syrup for serving (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the grated carrots.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- For freezing, place pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag.
