Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Carrots (grated)
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for batter and serving)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—you want the batter to remain light and fluffy.

Step 4

Gently fold the grated carrots into the batter. If desired, stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking oil.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly, if needed.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm, optionally drizzled with maple syrup, or topped with a dollop of yogurt and fresh fruit for extra flavor.
