Uh, did I read that right?  Carrot cake for breakfast?  YESSSS!!!!  I think carrot cake is my all time favorite dessert.  It’s got sweetness.  It’s got spice.  It’s rich and decadent.  Seriously, folks, what’s not to love?!?  I stumbled across this recipe on the Tasty Kitchen Blog and it looked deeeee-licious!

Carrot Cake Pancakes
Compliments of It’s a Keeper
Original recipe from Tasty Kitchen Blog
www.everydaytastes.com
1-¼ cup White Whole Wheat Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
¼ tsp Salt
⅛ tsp Ground Nutmeg
⅛ tsp Ground Cloves
⅛ tsp Ground Ginger
¼ cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
¾ cups Lowfat Buttermilk
1 Tbsp Canola Oil
1-½ tsp Vanilla Extract
2 whole Eggs
2 cups Finely Grated Carrot (about 1 Pound)

Combine flour and next 6 ingredients (through ginger) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and next 4 ingredients (through eggs); add sugar mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Fold in the grated carrot.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray. Spoon 4 (1/4-cup) batter mounds onto the pan, spreading with a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook for 1 minute or until bottoms are lightly browned. Repeat procedure twice with the remaining batter.

Is It a Keeper?

This recipe is definitely a keeper!  What a great way to work some veggies into breakfast!  I loved the texture of whole wheat flour.  The pancakes were a little bit denser (is that a word?) that my (great-grandmother’s) usual pancake recipe but it was good.  They had some heft.

And, I absolutely loved all of the spices.  Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, oh my!  I just love that combination of spices.  This recipe get a big thumbs up from me!  What a great way to start the morning!
