Ingredients
Carrot cake pancakes:
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (220 grams)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 5 tablespoons soft brown sugar , see note 1
- ½ cup carrot , finely grated, packed, see note 2
- ¼ cup walnuts , roughly chopped, see note 3
- ¼ cup raisins
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg , large
- 1 tablespoon oil + extra for cooking, see note 4
Cream cheese topping:
- 4 ounces cream cheese , at room temperature (120 grams)
- 3 tablespoons vanilla sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream (120 milliliters)
Instructions
- For pancakes: In a medium mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. Stir. Add grated carrot, walnuts, raisins, milk, egg, 1 tablespoon oil and mix until well combined.
- On a griddle or large skillet/frying pan, heat a little oil and pour a 1/3 cup of the batter per pancake in. Cook on low-medium heat. When you see bubbles appear on their surface, turn them over and cook until ready (see note 5).
- For cream cheese topping: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients together until smooth, preferably using electric mixer.
- Serve with cream cheese frosting or anything you like
Notes
- Brown sugar can be substituted with fine granulated sugar.
- You will need about 1 large carrot to get 1/2 cup grated.
- Walnuts can be substituted with pecans.
- Either regular cooking olive oil, sunflower, or vegetable oil can be used.
- Cooking time will vary. If you use a griddle, you might only need 3-4 minutes per whole batch. If you use a small skillet where you can only fit 1 pancake at a time, you will need almost 30 minutes for cooking, when counting with about 3 minutes per pancake.
- You should get 9 pancakes out of this recipe when using a 1/3 cup (for measuring dry ingredients).
