Carrot Cake Pancakes

I’m cruising right on into the last quarter of 2014, crazy right? I’ll tell ya, my life has been one blur since the boys went back to school in August. Why I ever agreed to chair two committees, I’ll never know. For you’re own sanity, if anyone ever asks, ‘just say no’!

The work on Charity Ball is on schedule, if I can just get the lights I want for my backdrop, I’ll feel really good about it. My team is great so I’m not too worried…  well, kind of worried but that’s what I do.

My other chairman job is ‘eh’. Just ‘eh’. I work with teenage girls. ‘Nuff said.

And, on the home front, the boys are keeping me busy with their activities. They both almost had all A’s (is that As or A’s … hmm?) on their report cards. Seriously, less than 2 points kept both of them from getting A’s.

It’s finally getting a little cooler. A welcome change! Along with cooler weather, I’ve been thinking, and craving, comfort food. Pancakes have always been one of my comfort foods. The other would be Mac and Cheese! swoon…

Why carrots?

Today I made PANCAKES. And not just any pancakes, but pancakes that taste like Carrot Cake! Does Carrot Cake Pancakes sound a bit time-consuming to you? Don’t fret. They take no more time than regular pancakes to make. Really, I’m not a ‘fussy’ cook, I don’t like detailed and difficult recipes. In large part because I have no patience. Also, most of the time when I cook I have four hungry eyes and two little mouths waiting for it to be ready!

Rich notes of cinnamon and nutmeg are what makes this scream fall to me. I made these pancakes almost exactly the same way I make my carrot cake. As well, I even put crushed pineapple in them. The pineapple keeps them super moist. You will not use an entire can of pineapple. I like to add the leftover pineapple to my morning smoothie or make my friend Deb’s Pineapple Dip with it.

Tips

First, I recommend shredding the carrots in a food processor. Process until they are very fine. By doing this you’ll ensure they cook through. Most noteworthy, I don’t recommend the pre-shredded packaged carrots for this recipe.

Even though I modeled these recipes after my Carrot Cake recipe, they are not overly sweet.

For more tips, read How to cook the perfect pancake halfway done in this post.

It’s difficult to put a cook time on pancakes. I heat my griddle on medium heat. The batter needs to sizzle when it hits the hot oil, but the griddle doesn’t need to be so hot that it over-cooks one side before the center of the pancake is cooked. It takes practice!

This is my favorite spatula for flipping pancakes!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 8 - 4 to 5 inch pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 and ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup carrots chopped really fine in food processor
  • 1/4 cup crushed pineapple not drained
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Add dry ingredients to a bowl: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and brown sugar.
  • In another bowl, mix milk and vanilla.
  • Add milk mixture to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Don't over-mix.
  • Stir in carrots and pineapple.
  • Let mixture stand 5 minutes while the griddle is heating on medium heat.
  • When the griddle is hot, add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter. When the oil is hot drop 1/4 cup spoonfuls of batter on to griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles form in the center of the pancake and the edges begin to look 'dry'.
  • Flip pancake and cook 1 to 2 minutes on second side. Watch carefully.
  • Remove to a platter warming in oven.
  • Repeat process with adding additional oil and butter then batter.

Notes

It's difficult to put a cook time on pancakes. I heat my griddle on medium heat. The batter needs to sizzle when it hits the hot oil, but the griddle doesn't need to be so hot that it over-cooks one side before the center of the pancake is cooked. It takes practice!

    These are fantastic! I made them gluten free and added chopped pecans. We all enjoyed them and even the second day toasted in the toaster. Sooooo good! Thank you for a new family tradition.

    These look really yummy. Tried hem this morning and it was a total flop! They were wet on the insides and the carrots were too crunchy for me. Do you have any suggestion for softer carrots? Maybe use leftover cooked carrots?

      I would use baby food carrots in these instead. Softer but carrots all the same

        What can be substituted for pineapple as I am allergic? If I left out the pineapple and made no substitution how do I adjust the recipe?

          I would omit the pineapple and add more milk. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time until the consistency is correct. (probably 1 or 2)

    This looked so good, great idea. You forgot to mention eggs. Put 2 and making them right now, but thought i would let you know

      I don’t typically put eggs in my pancakes, Nikki. It’s not an omission, but I’m sure yours were good with them too.

    These look really good! Does the batter keep in the fridge? Either leftover batter, or can it be made ahead?
    Thanks!

    I always wanted to be one of those women on committees and such. Maybe I’ll get brave one day! These look so good. I love that you did the crushed pineapple. Carrot cake is SO MUCH better with pineapple!

    I can almost taste those pancakes. Some days just call for relaxing at the table with a pancake that tastes like cake.
