Hello! carrot cake fan and a pancake lover, we might have just created your all-time favorite recipe. Featuring warming spices like nutmeg, cloves and ginger and a coconut-cream cheese frosting flavored with maple syrup and cinnamon, this breakfast is as comforting as it gets.
We used whole-wheat flour instead of all-white flour for the batter, which means added dietary fiber. The addition of unsweetened apple sauce gave the pancakes a better moistness which also contains fiber as well as vitamin C.
It contains 209 K cal and 11 g of sugar per pancake, you would be wise to save this breakfast as an occasional special treat. These Carrot cake pancakes with coconut-cream cheese frosting recipe gets its sweetness from natural ingredients, including maple syrup, raisins and carrots, so don’t stress about indulging in these pancakes every so often if you’re craving a cozy morning.
