Carrot Cake Pancakes {paleo of course}

One of Addison's favorite breakfast meals is pancakes.  I've tried several variations: sweet potato, plain, apple, pear, peach, blueberry, pumpkin...you name it.  Oddly enough I had never tried carrots.  Carrot cake is one of my favorite treats so I was delighted to whip these up for Addison (and maybe myself too).


Ingredients
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 3/4 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • lots of: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg
  • handful of raisins
  • coconut butter for pancakes
  • maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl: almond meal, coconut flour, baking soda and powder, and spice together.
  2. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients: carrots, eggs, coconut milk, coconut oil, and raisins. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Heat a large skillet up under medium-high heat and use coconut oil to grease the surface.
  4. Pour batter into small pancakes onto hot griddle. Cook on both sides for 3 or so minutes.
  5. Top pancakes off with coconut butter and maple syrup.
