Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated carrots about 2 medium carrots
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pancake Batter:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients:
  • In another bowl, mix the grated carrots, brown sugar, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth consistency.
  • Combine Wet and Dry:
  • Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined—don’t over-mix, as this will make your pancakes tough!
  • Cook the Pancakes:
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are slightly dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:
  • While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the glaze by beating together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Serve:
  • Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle generously with the cream cheese glaze, and enjoy!
